Blech. It should simply attach the file to the mail. Another thing which Rodney did not mention is that the text in the attachment bar needs to be changed. Currently it says "<b>1</b> File Attached" when a file is attached. Sometimes attachments are not files, however, as when I forward a mail to someone. The attachment zone header should say "<b>1</b> Attachment" instead. Another issue that we've seen in some of our usability tests here is that people are confused by the file selector in the context of attaching a file to a mail they are composing. First they click the 'Attach' button in the composer's toolbar, then select a file using the file selector. Then, they hit the '+' button in the file selector to add the attachment to the mail. Of course, this button is for adding bookmarks to the file selector, not for adding attachments to mails. It would help if the button in the file selector said "Attach" instead of "Open," and if the icon were attachment-appropriate. > - Use attachment icon list area for display instead of buttons This will require that we add a "Save attachment" menu item to the right-click menu on the attachment area. > - Make "Save All Attachments" easier to access I think there could just be a button in the attachment area. This, and the slideshow button would probably be worth mocking up. Nat
