Default Word's received file from email

If the receivers open the attachment directly from the e-mail, it will open
in Reading Layout if they have the setting "Allow starting in Reading Layout"
in Tools Options General tab turned on (it is turned on by default).

You can ask them to turn off that setting or ask them to save the document
elsewhere and open it from there €“ in that case the document will open in the
view with which it was last saved (by you or somebody else).
