Failsafe for saving email attachments??

[AMH]

Why, oh why has Microsoft not yet introduced a failsafe for saving email attachments?

This has been an issue always and it is so easy to do something about.

Earlier you were even able to find them again in temp folders, but not so with Win7 and possibly other Windows versions.

When you open an attachment and forget to save manually to the harddrive, you will be saving into a temporary file that is lost the moment you close down Word. No matter how many times you hit Ctrl+S.

You will lose all your work. All of it. Just like that.

This is downright ridiculous. The first time you hit Ctrl+S, you should be sent directly to the Save as.. option.

It is no harder than that to save the work of thousands who are under time pressure, other pressure, just don't know better etc. etc.

Why has this not been implemented yet? Or another - ANY other - failsafe?



I have to admit I'm still fuming after Word has yet again done this to me, resulting in my having to rewrite everything. Yes, I should manually save my work, but with all the other failsaves, why on earth is this very obvious mistake that is all too easy to make not dealt with in 2012?

Please explain that to me.
