The file itself is probably in a hidden directory; all you need to do is figure out which directory that is, and you can then move or copy the file to where you want it.

No, the "attached" file is in the body of the message and needs to be properly extracted. If you want to see what's going on, simply open a message, then choose the menu View/Message/Raw Source.

Then why does the "downloaded" property of the attachment say "true"?

Setting the location for attachments that you open in Mail
Files attached to (or enclosed in) an email message are stored as part of the message. Since attachments are part of the message itself, they are usually deleted when you delete the message. You can save separate copies of attachments by clicking the Save button in the message window.


Mail also temporarily saves an attachment as a separate file on your computer when you open the attachment by clicking it in the message. The file is saved in the Mail downloads folder, located by default in the Library folder of your home folder.
