    Still no solution?

    Do I have to reset the app every time I open a file received by e-mail?

    I suggest you just keep an eye on the files and reset the app every few months. The other thing you can do is not open apps from email and just save the files in a directory  and open them directly from there.

    Yes, but that's far form ideal.

    I am stuck in the same situation, until a Microsoft employee sees this and takes some action.

    It is frustrating that no fix is available.
