Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Mail / May 2008File associations for attachments
Using Windows Mail under Vista, I am having trouble with some file types. .pdf and .jpg files both give me an error message saying that "This file does not have a program associated ...". And yet when I go to Control Panel->File Associations, .pdf is associated with Adobe Reader and .jpg is associated with Paint. When I click on one of these file types in any other context, the association works fine. Any idea what Mail's problem might be?

Didn't help.

I did make it work, at least for .pdf files. But it occurs to me that this sort of thing should have been fixed by MS long ago.
