I had the same problem some time ago  8-)

You should put in the "acroread.exe" script a line like this:

env >> $LOG     (or, if you prefer:  set >> $LOG)

This allows you to see the content of environment variables.
I don't know, but the acroread take one of the temporary environment variables: TEMP or TMP in order to write a temporary file before it reads the real file.
Take a look at those variables (even take a look at the TMPDIR). If you've noticed, the "acroread.exe" script re-set the TMP and TEMP variables with the content of TMPDIR. As I said I'm using wine 20040813 and maybe the newest version has changed something.

I think if you investigat those variables you can solve the problem  ;-)

OK. The deletion is for avoid filling the temporary directory ....  ;-)

HTH.

BTW, how can I get rid of the HTML part of the message my notes client is sending to the list? 
I saw I'm sending text *and* HMTL format ... I dislike that.
