[MlMt] Attachments open "Read Only"

[Henry Seiden]

Annamarie,

Bingo. MM is smart enough to see the two actions differently and goes 
ahead with the method you’ve requested.

Yes, good to hear you confirm that the down arrow icon does what it 
always has (download to selected location, the download folder by 
default). That’s why I asked, I’d be worried if it didn’t. It has 
in past versions and still does.

So, the real question then could be, “How do I open a file by double 
clicking it (or substitute the actual shortcut steps you’d be wanting 
to take)?” And the answer is that read only may be kind of like the 
quick look eye icon also located next to the down arrow on the 
attachment strip. BTW the ‘-‘ icon is also common, removing the 
attachment.

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
