attachments

As a workaround you can DO it as follows:

1. Click and hold on attachment.
2. Select Share
3. Select MS Word
4. Attachment will open in Word

This is a painful and frustrating part with the new update. I can preview MS Office attachments, but the moment I try to open them on MS Excel/Word/Powerpoint using the "More" tab, the Mail app crashes.

The workaround is saving every file and opening it separately through the respective MS Office app. This is not how iOS is supposed to make our lives simpler!

Don't think any solution has been offered yet.

It does work, many thanks!

But what I mentioned above is a bug (?) and needs a resolution too. Hope that's also being solved. At times, one wants to decide to edit an attachment only after previewing it, and the preview option was quick and useful.
