Hello Mary, > Yes. That was clearly explained before on this thread. So now the > question is, Is that technically necessary?
It is not necessary but convenient. When you open any attached file from 'within' the message, which requires writing it first to a temp directory so it can actually be opened, there could be already a file with the same name in that directory. If that was the case, TB would need to ask you if you want to overwrite it, or not. If the answer was no, then the only option to open a and view the attachment would be to first Save it and then open it with the corresponding application from outside TB. By using a 'random' name (probably not so random but derived on date and time) for this temp file, it is quite unlikely to happen. Think also about HTML messages. You will see that the HTML part in many of them is 'Message.html'. What if you want to open it so you can see the graphics? When you do a Save instead of Open, the file is saved with its name (unless you select a different one). So, the question actually is: why is it so important that the real file name appears in the title bar of the window displaying it? In many cases, like for example for PNGs and other graphics, the built in viewer of TB is used. -- Best regards, Miguel A.
