If you detach a file multiple times, the 2nd and subsequent detaches fail, AND can destroy data.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a message with an attachemnt
2.Ctrl-click and detach to desktop
3.Ctrl-click and detach to desktop a second time
Actual Results:  
Second time generates an error message AND overwrites the original with a 0k file.
Oops - data is now lost. 

Expected Results:  
Either
a) gives an error message BEFORE detaching that the file is already detached.
OR
b) just make a copy at the new location (which means would overwrite with same file).
