Q: Mail won't "let go" of attachments I send
When I drag a file from the desktop to an email and send it, I then drag the file from the desktop to the trash but whenever I come to empty the trash (even if it's several days later) I get the error message that that file is in use by another application. I can empty the trash by either quitting Mail or using the Delete Immediately option but surely Mail shouldn't still be using the file?

I tried it and got the same behavior you did. It shouldn't happen, and I suspect it may be a bug in Mail that does not let go of the file. It seems to have been fixed in the Sierra GM.
