P.S.
Paul, there are many people lurking on this list and replying to posts whose
names are probably not Melvin.
Melvin:
On additional question --- a very basic, and
probably stupid question --- "What is the step-by-step process to save the
attachment"?
I hit save on the e-mail message with the
attachment and save only the e-mail message. I hit the attachment with
the left clicker once and then "save as" and I still only save the e-mail
message, but not the attachment. When I hit the attachment with the left
clicker tweice I get the message that the pdf attachment is improperly
decoded.
Many thanks for your help.

Hi Paul,
I've had numerous complaints from friends and
clients with essentially the same complaint. They, like you, were
using Outlook Express. It seems to be a fairly common issue. For
some time I found that having them save the attachment first, then opening
the saved file worked reliably, but I've since found that in several of the
cases, the problem was related to file associations being missing or
wrong. Make sure that the association for the pdf extension is
assigned to Acrobat. If that still doesn't resolve the issue, or it is
in fact already that way, you should still be able to fall back to the "save
and then open" mode.

I have
a problem.
I am operating a
computer running on Windows 2000 Professional.
I cannot decode pdf messages "received as attachments to
e-mails". Message I receive states that "Message was not decoded
properly. This version of Windows 2000 is not supported. You should
upgrade to ServcicePack 2 and run setup again".
I have upgraded not only to Service Pack 2 but Service
Pack 3 and 4 as well.
Still my
computer does not decode "pdf messages received as attachments to
e-mails".
I would appreciate
your assistance.
