The issue is that you need an OPEN action in the File Association for
the files to open from within OE. Acrobat generally installs an action
like "Open with Adobe Read x.0". That won't cut it for OE. You need to
add and action that just says OPEN.

Hello all..
after having some difficulties a month ago and having to reset IE7
back
to
original setup....and then installing Acrobat 9.3....my .pdf's as
email
attachments in OE6 will no longer open, tho I can save to the
desktop
and
they open up fine using the new Acrobat 9.3

when I do just try to open up the attachment, I get a modal window
that
simply states the same "this file does not have a program assoc...."
etc
and
go to Folder Options to set that up. Been there and done that like 5
times
and STILL can not just open up a .pdf attachment.

googled for same and have re reg'd all the various .dlls needed,
except
for
some reason the mshtml.dll gives me this error "mshtml.dll was
loaded but the dll register server entry point was not found. This
file
cannot be registered."

so can someone offer why that might be and how do I now fix that?

Jim

XPPro/SP3 and completely updated all the time; OE6 too...

I called the police. They'll be calling you instead.
