when an attachment is included in an email, dragging and dropping the icon in
the attachment bar to a folder on the pc results in a shortcut being created
rather than the attachment being copied to the location.

if the attachment is part of the message, ie an image, and it is viewable in the
message window, then dragging and dropping works fine.

4.notice it's a shortcut
