I totally agree with Niels here. Why introduce another way of opening the attached files from the main window when there already is the thumbnail-based solution you mentioned? Also, how should the situation be handled if you have multiple files attached? Would you then expect all of these files to be opened? I don't think this makes sense. Another minor issue (concerning a different topic): Please, when starting a new topic do not create your message to this mailing list by replying to a previous post and deleting the content. While at first glance that will create a new empty message directed to the right recipient this in fact messes up the threads. Apple Mail (and other mailing programs) show that your message still belongs to the "New group based on latex source"-thread. This is a little annoying when trying to organize and follow the messages. Instead, right click on the recipient of a previous message (which is this mailing list) and click on "New Message". This will make sure that the mixing-up won't happen.
