[dba-Tech] Thunderbird attachments

Actually I do have that set, to a directory which Thunderbird filled out 
as a default, but which it did not create.  However the only other 
possibility is to ask me every time.  I certainly don't want to be asked 
every time a message comes in with an attachment.

Are we saying that Thunderbird has to strip off attachments, that it 
can't just leave them attached?  If I create the folder that Thunderbird 
failed to and it starts storing the attachments there, does it magically 
keep a link to the file so I can get at it from the email?
