Save-to-Disk is also an action. And a more preferable action for me. My suggestion fullfills these standards in every way. > If we really care that much about security we probably could have a > confirmation dialog before opening an attachment or even simply an > option forbidding this but changing the way left clicking works is a > bad idea, IMO. Confirmations are not needed for my suggestion. Only the option to change the default action on leftclicks. Well I'm not a programmer and I don't want you to tell how to design Mahogany. As long as I cannot inplement it by myself that's not my decision. But every user has her/his own priorities by choosing a mailclient. At the moment I'm searching for a replacement of the mailclients some people use (my parents, my wife, some friends, my colleges and myself). I remember of the happy99 and tequila-virus and how much work I had to remove it. Those virii came by mail. All were activated by simple leftclicks. Today these users know they should run a virusscanner at least after saving the attachment or better never execute exe-files received by mail. But let's face it: my parents will not always remember to rightclick, they will often leftclick, which is the most used default action under Windows. > SK> Often I have to look in old mails for an specific attachment.

Anyhow, the real Oh yes- I never thought about that. That's absolutely enough for me.
