Mail for Windows, the following error may occur:
The application for the attached file <filename> (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- From the File Manager File menu, choose Associate.
- Specify the file extension in the File With Extension: box.
- Specify the application in the Associate With: box. You can use the
Browse feature to quickly find the application's executable file.
