I think “it’s a feature, not a bug”, as they say. I recall seeing 
a comment about this in release notes, and it made sense. The attachment 
files that MailMate creates in its local cache are read-only. One should 
*not* be editing those files.

Dragging the file (I didn’t even realize that worked) must be copying 
the cached file exactly, including the newly restrictive permissions.

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.
