Attach PDF to email message issue

I have a user that cannot attach PDF files that are opened in a web browser to emails. He is using the following:
Outlook 2007
Acrobat 9 Standard (I believe 9.4.2)
Win XP with IE8.
 
Now if he right-clicks on a saved PDF and does Send to > Email recipient, it opens a new email message correctly, but when he click the email icon in a PDF in a web browser, it just flashes for a second and then does nothing. No error message or anything.
 
Short if having him uninstall/reinstall Acrobat, I am at a loss. All his settings look good when compared to mine (where the attach feature works). Any insight you can provide would be helpful!
 

My Product Information:
Acrobat Standard 9.4.2, Windows

Does this work for you? If Acrobat "flashes" but does not display an error or do anything else, it sounds like it burped. Could be an error with Acrobat, could also be that the error is not displaying an warning message. Acrobat has security issues with remote resources so I don't know if this is a valid operation.
