Email attachments with docx, xlsx, or pptx extensions will not open. If I right-click and choose OPEN it acts the same as clicking SAVE AS. All other attachments open normally. I am using version 99.0b2 (32-bit)

Go down to Microsoft Office PowerPoint and choose Use Microsoft Office PowerPoint. Go down to Microsoft Office Word and choose Use Microsoft Office Word.
