<p dir="auto">Well, then that's an awful non-intuitive feature, reducing productivity and annoying me many times per day.</p>

<p dir="auto">I recall seeing a comment about this in release notes, and it made sense.</p>

<p dir="auto">No, it doesn't.</p>

<p dir="auto">The attachment files that MailMate creates in its local cache are read-only. One should <em>not</em> be editing those files.</p>

<p dir="auto">I don't and I don't plan to do that.</p>

<p dir="auto">Dragging the file (I didn’t even realize that worked) must be copying the cached file exactly, including the newly restrictive permissions.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Why <em>must</em> it be copied that way?</p>
<p dir="auto">When I drag the file to another location, I clearly say: <em>I want to work with that file at this place.</em> I don't need any software that tries to think for me or protect me from doing what I want.</p>
<p dir="auto">At least, this super annoying feature should be an option, like: <em>Keep read-only flag to reduce my productivity</em></p>

<p dir="auto">To get a copy to work on, just click on the handy “download” button right next to the filename instead, which will make an editable copy.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Unfortunately, that <em>download button</em> doesn't know where I want to put that file. So it goes to the download folder, and I need to pick it from there, move it around, etc.</p>
<p dir="auto">That's violating the only relevant KPI in any application: <em>number of clicks to result</em></p>
<p dir="auto">Benny, please revert this ASAP or make it optional. This has the potential to move away from MM because this is really driving me nuts.</p>
