Download Linked File in Mavericks Gone

Where in the world is "Download Linked File" when you right click in Mavericks Mail? Has this feature been removed? I used this feature constanty.

That's not a solution. "Download Linked File" was an option when right clicking on URL's with linked files. Your thinking attachments. Linked files are actually on a server somewhere and can be download directly via the URL. In all versions of Mail prior to Mavericks you could right click the URL and you were given the option to "download linked file." This is definitely gone now in Mavericks. Hope it comes back or I'll have to find a new email application.

They're AIFF and WAV files. I'm a mastering engineer and these are native files I deal with regularly. Didn't know .zip files would work (thank-you) ...guess I start .zip'ing everything and requesting that clients do the same?! Restore this functionality please apple ...it works fine in iCloud email via Safari. You'd expect webmail to have less functionality than a stand alone application.
