Yes, the following folder can be considered a cache where it is

~/Library/Application Support/MailMate/Attachments/
Attachments are only saved to this folder when needed (e.g., when
using Quick Look).
I need to know if this says what it seems to say: if something other
than MM clobbers attachments while MM is running, it will re-extract
them as needed without getting confused & whiny?
My immediate answer would have been yes, but now you made me think about
it I remember a problem: If message A saves an attachment with filename
X and the attachment is deleted from the cache by the user then message
B could use the same filename X to save a different attachment. If
opening the attachment of message A at a later time would then open the
attachment of B.
I consider this a bug although I have not documented that it should be
possible to delete attachments (but I've suggested it in emails in the
past).
That is very useful information which I can't find in the
documentation.
I guess it's a good thing I didn't document it.
A workaround for deleting *all* cached attachment would be as follows
(first quit MailMate):
rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/MailMate/Attachments/*
rm ~/Library/Application\
Support/MailMate/Database.noindex/Headers/#attachment-name.*
This makes sure that MailMate no longer thinks any attachments have been
saved to disk. (I didn't test the above!)
