Actually, this is my first day on this list so nope, I don't have message headers disabled. Can you tell me how to do that? Will that stop the laborious reading of all the header junk like to from date time, etc.?
Many thanks!

(My Mac is 20 miles away right now) 1. Command-Shift-H (turn on headers for current message.) . Look between the Headers and the body of the message, and you should find a attachment area. There is a save button here. When you click the save button, it will have a pull down list to choose the attachment to save. Onceslected the standard save-as dialog box appears. You could also do the following which is not quite as elegant. 1. Click the quick look button if you want to save the document after viewing, then it will be in your"Library/Mail Downloads" directory. Copy as you want from there.
