Oh, that is really cool!
Especially that you can actually drag the paperclip to an application in the Dock and it will open with that application!
So, for instance, I just dragged a paperclip with 12 photos from my father to iPhoto, and it opened iPhoto and imported the photos!
Thanks,
Mike

I think with photo attachments, you just hold down the save button to get a save menu (that's why it has a triangle), and on that menu is an option to import photos into iPhoto directly.

Recently, I need to roll out all the attachment of my emails (over 1500), I find a way to do it.

1. Sort the mail by sender and attachment;

2. Select a group of mail of reasonable attachment size;

3. Click the "Forward" Button;

4. Save the draft;

5. Go to "Draft Folder" and locate this "forwarded" mail;

6. Save all the attachment to the folder that I assign.

Actually, I also find a way to group print all mails. After sorting the mails and group selecting them, PDF print them into a folder. Then use the "Combine PDFs" Automator action (downloaded from MacOSX download) to combine them.

I use the above method to roll out all my mail and let someone to print them out.

Love Apple, only limitation is imagination.

Mail now stores all attachments in ~/Library/Mail Downloads which should make your life easier (though I think this first started with Tiger's version of Mail).

Hmm, the hint was submitted by me and I was logged in when doing so, but it says "Submitted by Anonymous". Not that I need credit for it but maybe a bug in the new site version?

Have fun!
