Although not exactly the same issue I have recently witnessed that some
attachements would have the invisible property set (on what I can only
categorise as randomly). Can’t really reproduce it but definitely
happens.

The change is in r5927 (November 10th, 2022).
I do exactly the same as in the past, but now is looks like files are
somehow locked by MM. Checking the file attributes I see that the
*Immutable* flag is set.
Is this a known problem? How to fix/workaround it?
I can see this developed into a very large thread. Someone found the
workaround, but I repeat it here to make sure it's more easily found:
defaults write com.freron.MailMate
MmAttachmentsCacheImmutableStateDisabled -bool YES
But it's only to be used by users who understand that attachments are
saved in a *temporary* location which can be deleted at any time. It
just doesn't happen very often.
I can add that the change was motivated by a user working on a
document for weeks (possibly hundreds of hours). The corresponding
email was later deleted and MailMate cleaned up by also removing
temporary files related to the email. Note that the cache is not part
of a Time Machine backup. The file could not be salvaged.
I have some notes on how this behavior could be improved, but the
quick/safest fix was to simply disallow it.
