I see lots and lots of discussions. This is EASY to fix.

I have Vista & IE8, BTW.

click on Start (or the circle thingy for Vista), All Programs and
right click Windows Mail (under All Programs, not on the start
menu). Select Properties.

The value "Start in:" is set to %UserProfile%. This does not work
because opening an attachment cannot save the attachment to a
temporary file on that folder.

I changed it to "%UserProfile%\Local Settings\Temp" and that fixes
the problem.

You can also just clear the field "Start in:" (remove the value) and
that fixes it also.

Enjoy.
