Can't Open Attachments Received In Emails
Jul 29, 2009
I cannot believe what a mess your operating system is. I can't even open attachments received in my emails because your silly system is so poorly designed. I think it may be time to scrap my new HP system and go out an buy a real computer from Apple. If Bill Gates had to compensate Windows users for all the time wasted dealing with his damned OSs, he would for sure not be the world's richest man, and deservedly so. I'm fed up.

Since migrating to Windows Mail a year ago on a new PC running Vista, I've been unable to open, or to save and open, email attachments received in .pdf or .jpg format. When I try to open .pdf attachments, I get an error message reading, "This
file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Set Associations control panel." If I save a .pdf attachment in Adobe Reader and then try to open it, I get a message saying, "Adobe Reader could not open [file] because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." I run Adobe Reader 8. Where do I look to find a solution to this problem? Is it related to the similar problem with JPEG's?

I was unable to open any of the attachments that were in my emails that previously I had been able to open. I did some reading here and found many references to incompatability with Norton and the need to change my security settings in Win Mail. almost by accident I came across a person who was not happy with IE8 and happened to mention that among other problems his Win Mail quit working properly after he upgraded to IE8. I uninstalled IE8 which reverted back to IE7 and now my Win Mail works correctly and all of my attachments can be opened.

My Microsoft Mail in Vista moves received and sent emails in a very odd manner. Rather than keep emails sorted strictly by date received and/or sent, the emails are moved. For example, if I reply to an email received and it had a subject line, a return email may be buried deep based on who sent the original and the subject. This makes finding the emails very difficult. I would like all emails received and sent to be sorted based on date received and/or sent, similar to Outlook.

I have tried to send vcf and excel spreadsheets from work email to my windows mail but no luck. The file size of the mail shows it's there - e.g. 56 kb, but I can't access the attachment. When I send it to my hotmail account, it's there. Other attachments have come through, but not these from work. I am very new to Vista and miss my Outlook

Whenever I send out an email with a picture or any kind of attachment including word documents through Windows mail, it says the email was sent, but it isn't being recieved by the recipient. Then I get a Norton symantec pop up saying this problem does not occur often, their support team have not been able to reproduce the error, and it also says that the error message is actually caused by a problem on the cpu itself. When I clicked the "run it now" button to run a Symantec administrative tool it states that I must be logged into an administrative account to complete this action, but I am! The only info it gave was this: Module 1003, Error ID 9, Build Symantec. I have Norton Antivirus 2007 and I ran a full scan and I don't have a virus. I'm about to throw this cpu out the friggin' window! Is there anyone out there who knows why it's doing this? My last resort is to bring it in to the geek squad to see if they can fix it.

I am running Windows Mail, on Vista. I have Charter Internet as the provider. I have two different email accounts. I have no rules set...never had. I have had these accounts for 5 years. I bought this computer 2 years ago. No changes have been made and all the sudden I am receiving each email 2x's in the inbox and junk mail folders. It is not just from a few people, and not them sending twice. IT is from EVERYONE for the last few weeks. I have 2 emails accounts. When I go to email accounts under tools it shows only 2 accounts. _They_are_not_listed_twice...._ I have Norton Virus protection always had. Nothing has been changed.

I have only been using Vista for 2 days, and am having trouble with received emails disappearing. I was checking my inbox, and watched 4 emails being received, then one of them just vanished. The message said 4 new messages. I have checked deleted items and junk e-mail. The current view is set to show all messages. I have McAfee Security Centre installed. Have checked the logs but nothing there either.

I have several email accounts configured on my windows mail on my Vista home premium and one of them is configured as the default email. When I reply to emails received on email accounts other than the default email the "from" email address does not change to the email address of the received account.
I understand that the email address in the "from' field when I start a "new" message or create mail is that of the configured default email. My question is while replying to an email received in other configured accounts should not the "from" field email id change from the default email id to the email address of the email to which is replied.

We are looking for a software or add-in that can be installed within Vista Mail and that would automatically identify the country of origin of each email received... for example by showing a small country flag icon beside each incoming email within our mailbox.
We need to quickly filter spam and competitor emails from certain countries. At present, we do it manually by copy pasting the header of a suspicious mail into a website online that looks up the country of origin for us. So we would like to know of any add-in that automates this process, paid or otherwise, or any alternatives that people are using for this kind of problem.

After updating to IE8 through normal Windows Update, I can no longer open PDF attachments in Acrobat as I could before. Message states it cannot find the file. I can save the attachment and then open with Acrobat. I have removed the IE8 update and hence reverted to original IE7. The problem is hence resolved. My guess is IE8 has somehow changed the temp file location, and hence the file cannot be found. There must be a registry pointer change that caused this. I'll keep IE7 until the group can come up with a simple fix or recommendation.

After I installed IE8 on my Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit computer, I had a problem with it conflicting with my Windows Mail program and I could not open attachments unless I saved them to the desktop first, so I had to uninstall.

If I receive an e-mail with an attachment "DOC" my system can't open it. I'm running with Vista and even if someone else is using Vista I still can't open it. The system suggests Adobe or Internet Explorer neither of which works. I've tried to get my Microsoft Works Word to open it but I'm not having any luck. I don't have Microsoft Word, could that be my problem.

I don't know whether or not this fault might be due to the Service Pack I recently downloaded but its a ****** nuisance. I have to 'Save to' a non-Mail folder then, using Windows Explorer, open it there.
