Okay, this has happened to me for as long as I can remember, but I'm finally getting so annoyed by it that I want to find a way around it. Here's the deal: I attach a file to an email and send it off in Mail.app. Works great. Now I don't want that file anymore, so I try to delete it. It goes in the trash just fine, but when I try to empty the trash, it insists that Mail is still using this file. The only way to delete this file is to quit Mail, empty the trash, then re-open Mail. Is there any way around this? Is there some way to tell Mail to STOP using that file after it's done sending? Surely this happens to other people...
Got a tip for us?
