Question how @mail handles attachments

[nhdonny]

While using the web interface to delete hundreds of nasty mails I opened an email I was expecting from a client. this mail had about 15 jpgs attached and i was surprised that @mail automatically began to open all the attachments.

Outlook doesn't even do that anymore. The standard now is to ask how to handle attachments, download, save as, discard, open etc.

In looking through the preferences I can't find any settings for attachment handling. Are than any options? Am I the only one who thinks this is not good?

I'm glad I didn't open one of those "wicked screensaver" mails....
