Is this related to bug 252479? Maybe they have a common cause.

IMAP or POP mail?(In reply to comment #3) > Is this related to bug 252479? Maybe they have a common cause. That's about dragging to an application and the file not being filed in the Temp folder, and applies to POP as well as IMAP mail. Bug 253711 is apparently IMAP-specific and the drop-destination is a folder, like this bug.

I was wondering where my attachments were going! This bug also happens with Mozilla 1.7.5 Mail on OS 10.3.7.

Reporter (dghallagher) -- I'm curious if the workarounds described (for Windows) at bug 253711 comment 2 and 4 also works around for your problem on the Mac. If so, this bug should be marked as a dupe of that one.

on OSX 10.3.7, attachments dragged to a directory always end up in the parent directory. Same bug?
The file gets placed in the parent directory wherever you try to drag the file....

Why is 242631 (this bug) considered a dupe of 372322? 242631 came first! Should 372322 be marked a dupe of 242631? We've been waiting almost two years for a fix for this bug. 372322 is only a day old. By marking this bug as the dupe, you make it look like your bug fix turnaround is 24 hours, rather than 24 months.
