Maybe a [Quick Look] [Save] [Save & Delete] choice? But of course many people <ahem> use their e-mail mailboxes as longterm file storage areas, for things that they 95 percent don't think they need and don't want to bother finding a folder to save them in, but they might need and don't want to delete permanently.

By the way, the Attachments column in the list shows both attached files, and attached images used in HTML e-mail, things like company logos. In general I don't care about the latter, and when I'm scanning for e-mails with attachments it's just noise to see those listed with the paper clip icon.

My feeling is that attachments should be removed as soon as they are not
used anymore.

Maybe a configurable option.?

Hi All, Benny,

All the attachments "quicklook'd" in MailMate are stored in
~/Library/Application Support/Mailmate/Attachments.

Depending on correspondence volume, this may stack up to several GBs. More importantly, confidential attachments to (GPG-)encrypted e-mails are stored there as well until the email is (if ever) deleted. This is an insecure
behaviour that some may desire not to happen.

I'm not sure whether this is a common issue, but in general I see the
"Attachments" folder as a temporary directory, not as a permanent storage
location (especially for encrypted attachments).

Is there a way to avoid this? Is this an issue for other users as well or
is it only me?

Best,

  Luca
