Thanks for the reminder. I did this I think in El Capitan or earlier.

The first item is Add new file alert. Is that what you were talking about?

This is something you enable on folders in the finder. Right click the
folder and near the bottom should be a folder actions area. Once you
enable folder actions you can enable one or more script files to be
associated with the folder. The first one listed by  default is create a
dialog box announcing new files.  If this is for the downloads file, you
might want to disable announcement for files with the extension download

    Hi Andrew,

        In case it might come in handy, I have enabled folder actions on
        my downloads folder so that I get notified if a file is or has
        been downloaded into it.  This is helpful as it reassures me
        that the download has started.

              Running the latest Sierra and using Mail in classic view,
            what is the best way to navigate and read the message and

              I had some trouble doing this plus on one link that was a
            direct download, there was no indication I actually had
            downloaded a file until after a few tries, I viewed the
            downloads folder.
