User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4 Build Identifier: When detaching an attachment, it is often very handy to change the file name (analogously to "Save As..."), e.g. when the orginal name is inappropriate. Note that the obvious workaround, viz. renaming the file after detaching it, is not only cumbersome, but makes the X-Mozilla-External-Attachment-URL invalid. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

Given the bits and widgets are already available for the save as... this sounds like it only needs some hookup code to reuse existing tools. Definate plus for when the detach function gets turned on in release builds.
