When I get a PDF attachment, and click to open it, I get the message msoxmled.exe - system error, AppVisvSubsystem64.dll is missing. If I save the attachment to the desktop, and then double click on it, the PDF opens correctly in Adobe Reader. I only see this message when opening the attachment in Thunderbird. Thanks for any help
