This could also be a 'feature' of your email client. For example, 
Thunderbird on Windows works this way - if you open the attachment, it 
opens in read-only mode. This was changed at some point, because it used 
to allow you to edit it, but many people were confused because it didn't 
save the changes to the attached file, but to the Temp directore where 
Thunderbird stored it temporarily when opening it.
