You folks seem to have a system wide problem here. I found similar complaints in
*266,937; 364,158; 280,685; 299,117; as well as possibly 291,573; 267,479;
299,598; 286,485; 264,897; 276,004; 290,306; 294,384; 282,606;and 265,179.  It
would seem that with this number of similar complaints, it should be both
straightforward, as well as extremely important to attempt to solve this
problem. I have infinite appreciation for the possible difficulties, but I would
be extremely grateful if you are able to fix this bug. Thank you.

Could you try with a recent build please (1.0.4 is v. old).  Are you using any
extensions or a non-standard theme?

P.S. When listing possible bugs, please put "bug xxxx", as it turns into a link
others can go to directly.

When you say the attachment appears for a few seconds, do you mean in the
Download Manager window?  If so, have you got DM set to automatically remove
downloaded items?
