Web email attachment associations in Vista

Greetings,

This question does not seem to fit any of the forum headers so I picked the
most general sounding forum I could find.

My laptop is running Vista Ultimate. I use yahoo.com for business email and
use their web based email client for my business account.

Yesterday I received an email with a .pdf attachment. When I went to save
the attachment the browser window refreshed but no dialog appeared asking me
if I wanted to Open or Save the file. No error message, no strange behavior,
just wouldn't bring up the dialog for Open/Save. Last month .pdf attachments
were downloading fine from my email (I received several in October).

I went to a different email with a text attachment and it downloaded just
fine. I then went to several emails from last month that had .pdf
attachments and not one of them would download.

Adobe Reader 9 is installed and working. When I view .pdf files in Explorer
they have the Adobe icon associated with them and they open fine when clicked.

Any help with this matter (even redirection to the correct forum) would be
greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

You need to find a newsgroup with "windows" in it or similar.

This is a group for dotnet developers (and programmers)....not a general
windows discussion forum.

Good luck.
