The easiest way is to simply drag the icon of the attachment from your email to the desktop, or to any folder or folder window in the Finder.
If you have the file open, you can also use the File menu in the program that opened it. Apple programs now use the "Duplicate" command, but many other programs (apps) still use "Save as...". Technically, the attachment is already saved on your computer, but its location is a hidden folder. When you save the document to a new location with any of the directions in this response, you are simply making another copy at that location. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
