Existing users, 
Hello,
I have noticed a bug in Apple Mail today. I am using Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11.
I have received an email which contains 7 different files. All file attachments have the same file name. e.g. "index.html".
If I click on each single file icon in Apple mail, the file "index.html" will be openend in the appropriate application.
However, Apple Mail seems not to recognize that each individual file has a different content. Apple Mail only opens the first file "index.html" which appears at the top left position in Apple Mail.
All other file attachments which appear in the top header part of Apple Mail seems to act as an alias. Which is quite confusing for an end user since all these files have a different content.
So, if I save each individual file to the desktop via drag & drop and by renaming the files. It works fine.
Just curious why Apple Mail does not recognize that each of these mail attachments have a different content.
graphically & sincerely,

Problem solved after clean MacOS X 10.5.5. installation - mediaVinci
Yahoooooo!The problem described above has been resolved.
I have made a clean Mac OS X 10.5.5 installation on my PowerBook G4 the past week-end . Re-imported my backup files by copying the folders:
users/someusername/library/Mail
users/someusername/library/Mail Downloads
users/someusername/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
I have checked the same mail again with the 7 file attachments which all have the same file name. If I click on one file attachment, the appropriate file will be now opened.
Great! Nice! Super chouette!
Thanks.
graphically & sincerely,
Marc Klein
