Mobility Site - View Single Post - How can I view a PDF attachment in Outlook Web Access?

I use Outlook Web Access (OWA) to check my work email while traveling with my X51v. When a message arrives that contains a Word Doc or Excel spreadsheet attachment I can click on the link which downloads the file and opens it in the appropriate pocket app.

However when the attachment is a PDF, clicking on it opens a message box that instructs me to save the file to disk. I see no pop-up menu or otherwise that allows the file to be saved. Highlighting the link and selecting copy, only copies the text of the link rather than the attached file.

I have Acrobat reader installed and it will open PDFs saved on the PPC by clicking on them in file explorer. How can I open PDFs that arrive as file attachments in Outlook Web Access?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: The mail server is Windows exchange server 2003.
