Hello,
When trying to open a pdf attachment, it does not open in the email page, but appears as a file on my desktop.
In Hotmail, Tools-options. In Main, downloads has a prechecked box showing Desktop. If you scroll, there are no options for opening it in the mail window, only in a folder somewhere. I never had this prob until recently.
Someone help!!

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.0.8

Had same problem with MSN Live and Hotmail suddenly not opening any email attachments. Suspected a security permissions issue. Used "Move to" on Hotmail menu to move email to "Sent mail" folder. From there, the attachments opened fine because Sent mail folder is a trusted source.
