sea monkey email attachments regularly do not save.  When you hit save as the attachment  appears to save but you can not find the attachment. Windows even records the file in "my recent documents" but when you click the file name it says "windows is searching for "filename.ext" to locate the file yourself click browse.  If I close the browser entirely it will save for a while then stop.  It may be linked to renaming the file but once you rename a file one time it seemed linked to that.  After one name change no others would save.  

I have been a netscape user since inception and really only installed sea monkey  because netscape 7.2 would not run on an upgrade from windows 2000 to xp.

I have observed the exact same problem trying to save attachments onto a CIFS-mounted windows network drive from a linux (gentoo) host.

What does properties of "filename.txt" in "my recent documents" say?

> onto a CIFS-mounted windows network drive

Does it mean "you assigned drive letter"?
 a. NET USE X: \\serever\shared_resource\...
 b. Network drive assignment via Tools menu of Windows Explorer
Or you used "Universal Naming Convention (UNC) Path" directly?
