Without having Outlook availiable this is what happens. When opening an attached
ODF file Outlook stores it in the Temp folder, starts the associated application
with the tempfile name and after that application exits it deletes the temp
file.
In OOo 2.1 the associated application was so0ffice.exe whereas in OOo 2.2 the
associated application is swriter.exe, scalac.exe etc. Those executables are
just wrappers for "soffice.exe -writer" etc. that terminate immediatly after
executing soffice.exe and do not wait for soffice.exe process termination.
When using the quickstarter it will just work by chance due to a timing issue
because then soffice.exe comes up and opens the file fast enough before
swriter.exe terminates and outlook is able to delete the file (which is locked
by soffice.exe if already openend).
This will not happen with other applications (like Thunderbird, Firefox, Outlook
Express, IE) because they only delete temporary files if the total amount of
temporary files exceed a boundary.
What Outlook does is not really that clever - It tries to avoid leaving files in
the temp directory but if you start OOo and exit Outlook before you exited OOo
the temp file is left in the temp directory anyway.
Because assigning swriter.exe, scalc.exe as default applications is needed for
Vista support the wrapper executables have to stay alive until OOo exits.
