Well ... TB! doesn't load any web content into a message (i.e. no
graphics, or whatever is referenced from a remote source), why should
it implement a HTTP and FTP driven (which would be the minimum for a
'Save target as' function) downloader? I see the idea behind this
feature request (especially for PDF files which, opened in a browser
window, can be a PITA if one want's them as a local copy on the
harddrive). But at the same time I see the can of worms that's opened
with implementing HTTP functionality: the immediate request for
"please load pictures into message" follows, and I don't think The
Bat! is ready for this yet nor does it apply to the philosophy of The
Bat! and it's message handling in regard to security issues (security
as in 'viruses', 'web bugs', et al).
