When trying to drag and drop attachments to desktop of folders (to save them to
those locations), I only get shortcuts to temp files. I have tried holding the
shift alt altgr ctrl while dragging (even combined) without any success.
Multiple selection with ctrl or shift buttons wouldn't work neither. I there is
one feature I'm missing from Outlook, that is the one.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open a mail with attachments
2.drag and drop the attachment to the desktop


Actual Results:  
did not save the attached file - Created a shortcut to a temp file instead

Expected Results:  
saved the attachment to the location where it has been dropped

Same problem since version 1.0
