Save the attachment to your HDD. Right click on it and Open With | Choose
Program. Find and choose a program that works, (Adobe Reader), and then
check the box: Always use this program to open this kind of file. This
should enable you to open these attachments in the future.

In OE6 I cannot open a pdf attachment. I have Adobe Reader 9 and it opens
the attachment after I save it and exit OE. Reader also opens pdf files
using Internet Explorer. But in OE6 it just reports: Unknown file type -
Use Folder options to make association.

Actually, the association is already included in the filetype options -
for pdf files, use Adobe Reader9. So why won't OE recognize this
association?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
