Double-clicked Thunderbird Email Attachments save only to desktop
I am using Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 on Mac OS X 10.4.11 and have set the default folder in which to store attachments using Thunderbird Preferences. This folder matches the folder selected in Apple mail.app which sets the system defaults.
However, when I receive an email that has an attachment, and double click on the attachment name in the standard view email window (it appears as an icon at the bottom of the text area) the file then appears on my desktop, contrary to the preferences I have already set. I have also set the Preferences in Safari to set the default Downloads folder to Documents/Downloads but even then attachments received in TB and double clicked on from within the email continue to be saved on the desktop because Tiger appears to ignore the settings I have set.
Over the course of a day this fills my desktop with files that should only appear in the appropriately designated folder.
How do I change this faulty behaviour which is the kind of thing I expect Microsoft to indulge in, not a great company like Apple?
TIA
