Chris, Magnus, you can follow the progress of this *enhancement* at [1]
("should open attachments readonly mode - changes to attachment are lost if
user does not a explicit "save as..."").

This behavior seems not to affect only TB but also any other mozilla derivate.
However all the requests about changing this thunderbird behavior are marked as
dup of the above bug at bugzilla (e.g. [2] "Thunderbird Bug: Save attachments
as read-only when opened").

There is a proposed patch dated from 2007-02-04.
