Sorry; yet another Mail bug.

Personally I would much rather deal with a zip that I can unzip and use rather than a disk image that I have to mount, copy, unmount and then use. Maybe there's good reason to use disk images - I've never found one though.


That's what internet-enabled disk images are for. When downloaded, they auto-mount, the contents are copied, and the disk image is removed.

1) That's really annoying (the default behaviour).
2) The behaviour can be changed in Disk Utility. If you do so, you find some apps leaving disk images lying around all over the place, making a mess of themselves.


Personally I prefer to manually download updates for each program, since I have three computers. If a program is going to download it's updates internally, it should save them, even if only as an option, to some sane location.
