Can no longer open attachments in Windows Mail

Recent behavior - double clicking on an attachment in a received e-mail window tries to open it , but then I get a message that it can't find the file. If I copy the attachment somewhere and open it from there, then it works. This happens with any kind of file, from .txt to .pdf to whatever. Sounds like acces is being denied to the temp folder where the files are stored or something...

Some freakin update must have installed this behavior - there was a recent WU installed - or the update to IE8 that caused this, I suspect. Where do I go to fix it? Do IE8 settings affect WM?

Thx, --ch
