Default The Operation Failed when opening attachment

A customer of mine sometime gets the error message 'The operation failed'
when opening an attachment. This has been seen for .xls and .zip files from
a particular source. If outlook is closed then re-opened, the attachment
opens fine. Also, if the same file is sent again, the copy will open.

Any ideas?

Possibly a Secure Outlook Temp Folder issue. See
