Re: [orca-list] Which Mail Client for ORCA

[Milton <milton tomaatnet nl>]

For saving attachments I do the following with the keyboard:
Alt_F10 and arrow-right to the Message menu;
Arrow-down to the attachment option;
Arrowright to the list of include attachments.
Here I can arrow-down for the option to save all. On each attachment I 
can arrow-right and after arrow-down for the options OPEN or SAVE AS.
I set in the Edit menu > Preferences the folder where to save attachments.
