Q: Download sound files from email
When I attach a sound file (mp3, AIFF, etc.) to an email, it appears as a miniature black playback control panel. I have tried sending such an email to myself to see how it appears to a recipient, and it appears the same way.
It then seems that one can play the music directly from the email, but there seems to be no way of downloading the attachment; control-clicking does not open a menu that permits either displaying the attachment as an ordinary icon or downloading it.
If I first enclose the sound file in a folder and then attach the folder to the email, that gets round the problem, but in a rather cumbersome way. Surely there must be a way of sending a sound file so that it appears as a normal, downloadable attachment?
I should be grateful for help.

Mail/File/Save Attachments work?
