In 1.0+ "open" item is disabled if more than one attachement is selected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open an email with more than one attachement. 2. Select more than one attachement (hold down ctrl-key) 3. Right-click Actual Results: "open" menu item is disabled. Expected Results: "open" is enabled.
Reproduced with TB 1.0+0806, Win2K. This might have been a deliberate change, tho.

For the sake of tracking and more, seams to me that: -It was removed (grayed) on purpose, as the handling was kinda wrong. According to bug 345447 it happened "After version 1.1A1 (from version 1.1A2)" -It still stays removed/disabled on TB 2 (tested 2.0.0.16) -It gets back in 3, bug 345447comment#1 assumes is an open for 1 file and open on several is not working. But I'd say seams to try to open 2 jpg attachments and: -first is opened correctly, called "custo1.jpg", second not -going in temp folder I see the second "custo2.jpg" under the name v0JXokqj.JPG.part (random each time) for the time the open dialog is on, on closing it dissapears testing on Shredder/3.0a2pre ID:2008072303 My conclusion would be, on trunk id is enabled, but the result is wrong. It's not just opening 1 file, seams to try more but fail somehow. If no correction in time for 3, disabling is a safe solution. Note: could this be a RFE? I mean it's an ability not there. And some issues may arise if implementing (what if you open 10 big files or more etc..)
