I actually use Thunderbird, but it does not automatically open 
attachments for me, I still have to click on it in order for it to be 
opened/downloaded/saved.

Certainly.  Plus do not let me discourage you from using attachments, 
especially for larger patches.  All I am asking is that if you do use an 
attachment, please include a short description of it in the main body of 
your message.

Cheers
