Fortunately or unfortunately I've never had a problem with file
associations so I can not guide you there. However, I have found that
double clicking on an attached file opens it faster by skipping the step
of asking what you want to do with it.
Just noticed that you are using OE. Check the security setting
concerning permitting attachments to open. Microsoft in their infinite
wisdom could be preventing you from opening the files.
