RE: OWA and PDF attachments

Interesting. Following your suggestion, and using Acrobat Reader 7, I went
to Preferences: Internet, and cleared the box for "Display PDF in browser".
Using OWA, I then tried to open the PDF file again. It gave an error stating
that it could not open the document in the default application (showing the
Acrobat Reader icon) because it was possibly corrupted, and offered to save
or cancel. I chose save, then it offered to open the now downloaded
attachment. It opened fine. Kooky. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Michael
