[MlMt] Automatically stored attachments

[Gary Hull]

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.
