    Email Attachments not opening


    Weird issue I can't wrap my head around.Updated a computer at my work, however on the new pc, the mail app doesn't want to open some PDF files but will open others.On the previous computer, we can still open up all PDF files no issue.I honestly don't have any idea how to sort this out.For context, what it does is try to download the PDF files even though we have it set up to just open straight into the browser, but open up some straight into the browser anyhow.Very strange, does anyone have a fix?

    :)
