SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to view an attachment in version 3.0 of Microsoft Mail for Windows, the following error may occur:

The application for the attached file (or one of its components) could not be found.



RESOLUTION
To associate the attached file with the originating application, use the Association command on the Windows File Manager File menu. The Associate command assigns and associates a specific file extension to a particular application. If there is no extension or no copy of the originating application, there can be no association.

To Associate a File

 * 1) From the File Manager File menu, choose Associate.
 * 2) Specify the file extension in the File With Extension: box.
 * 3) Specify the application in the Associate With: box. You can use the Browse feature to quickly find the application's executable file.
