It wasn't always - less recent version of Thunderbird would open 
attachemnts in read/write mode, and this was a major source of confusion 
for our users - they would open a document, make changes, just click 
'save', then couldn't find their changes... I'd have to help them dig 
out the modified document from their Temp folder.

I was very happy when Thunderbird changed this so that email attachments 
were opened in read only mode.
