If I receive a WAV file as an email attachment, and download it to my
smartphone (HTC Mteor), it doesn't play. It doesn't show as having the Media
player icon. I can't save it to the phone.

However, as it has Clearvue installed, if I download (say) a Word document,
it has the Clearvue icon and will open the document when I downoad it.

How can I set the file association so Media player will open a WAV
attachment - or is there another way of playing the file?

Cheers

Eric

Incidentally, this happens with files recorded by MS sound recorder on my PC.

However, if I recordusing voice notes on the phone, and then send that to
myself, the icon for the attachment shows as a media file and plays it.

Any ideas?
