The user profiles in Windows 7 (maybe vista too) have a Downloads folder. [Tools / options / attachments / save files to] defaults to the desktop, which is the wrong place to save files to. Default behaviour should be to store attachments in the Downloads folder, or in a folder under 'my documents' named "saved email attachments". This should be asked for in the setup wizard.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
[Tools / options / attachments / save files to]
Actual Results:
desktop folder
Expected Results:
downloads folder

This also applies in Mac OS 10.6. It's a serious problem. The attachment downloads default is the desktop and there is no option to set a different folder.
