Running Windows 7 SP1 and Outlook 2007, when right-clicking a file attachment in an email and selecting &quot;Save As...&quot; the file extension is getting lost, saving a .pdf or any other file type as a .[nothing].<br />
&nbsp;<br />
In the Save As... explorer box that appears the File Type is showing &quot;All Files&quot; and has no other options on the systems on which this is occurring, which is not all of the available Vista+Office 2007 systems here.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Any thoughts? The current work-around is to double-click the attachment to open it in the corresponding application (word, excel...) then save the file, as that works without any problems.
