Annamarie,
My 2¢… On my version of MM, 1.14 Test Build 5964, also on the last
official Beta release of 1.14 (5937) (you can get a list of all releases
from the Help Menu, without installing them), the double-click, assuming
that is what you are doing, does indeed open a read-only version of the
file assuming MacOS and the app in question supports it. Preview
supports a PDF file opening in read-only. And so I can confirm that a
PDF in MM, opens in Preview and appears as Read-only.
Again, what would you like it to do - open as a new version of the file
that can be saved to a new location? That would then become several more
steps to store the file - select the new location, and save it - two
more steps but certainly do-able) from there as a copy.
The workaround I suggest is use the “eye” icon instead to confirm
it’s what you expect. Then the “down arrow” icon instead if
satisfied with the quick look. With practice you’ll find it useful and
saves steps (keystrokes).
Respectfully,
Henry Seiden

hi
Hasn’t been asked. I’m double-clicking on the attachment - as I
have for the many years I’ve been using MM. It’s fine if I
download and then open the file. But that’s an annoying extra step,
right?
