Steps to Perform:
In Preference (Linux/Sun)- Options (Windows), go to the Attachments category and fiddle with any of the following settings.
    Attachment Folder
    File Types

Expected Results:
Changes should take affect after clicking OK, unless otherwise noted. Canceling should not make any changes go into effect (again, unless noted by the UI).

Still broken on Win7/32bit and Thunderbird 17 (Earlybird). Changes to a file type take effect immediately.

Steps to reproduce:
1. In Options (Windows), go to the Attachments category
2. Choose a file type and remember the current value in its combo box.
3. Select an option from the combo box, i.e. "Save File"
4. Press Cancel

Actual Result:
When going to Options, Attachments category, the combo box has the value "Save File".

Expected Result:
The combo box should have the previous value.

Saves are now immediate, and I don't think we will be returning to a UI that would allow undo.
