Akhil Laddha pointed to how to configure Gnome. I use KDE (in part
because it understands about this preference) but I can still configure
Gnome. The setting doesn't have any effect.

KÃre says that can no longer be set in Gnome. The key still exists in
Gconf but seems to be useless.

Several people suggested dragging. Thanks. Without any mention on the
attachment menu, I would not naturally think of this.

Apparently not (yet?) supported. Please count me as eager for the fix.

Milan Crha pointed out that, although the field appears to be a
drop-down menu, it does accept direct entries. And they work. Thanks.
