saw this using 2001.11.06.12-comm bits on winNT. will check other platforms in a bit. 1. open a compose window [fwiw, i was using plaintext, not html]. 2. click the attachment button to bring up the [native] file picker. 3. navigate to the directory of choice in the file picker, eg, d:\screenshots\ 4. i noticed that i could shift+ or control+click to select multiple files, so i just selected one... 5. ...and repeated step 2 to select another file... results: i noticed that the directory was *not* the same as the one i [last] chose in step 3 --it didn't remember what i last chose. the dir it displays appears to be the one where i had last *saved* [downloaded] file to. interesting. cc'ing bill since he knows a lot of file picker stuff, and also cc'ing jen to see what ui advice she'd have here. thx!

not a problem on linux or mac os 10.1.

Agree it would be nice if directory was remembered. 4.x does this.

Are you sure it's a dupe ?, bug 72623 seems to be about remembering attachment folder between sessions while this bug is about within the same session...

reopening and clarifying summary. unless varada et al. think it's really the same bug...

I see this in the browser too, not just mailnews. Annoying as all get-out.

this might be a dup of 72623. I'll fix all these mail-not-remembering bugs at once as they are annoying.

I think this is a dup. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 72623 ***

Glad we agree. Verifying.
