[MacTUG] FYI: Lion's email attachments are stored in a different location than before.

Save space after Mail upgrade [System 10.8] <http://hints.macworld.com/index.php?topic=system108>

Migrating Mail from Lion to Mountain Lion leaves behind a folder containing previous attachments.

Attachments in Lion were saved to ~/Library/Mail Downloads, but under Mountain Lion, Mail is now sandboxed, and the new path is ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail Downloads.

During the upgrade, the folder contents are copied from the old location to the new, so the old location can be deleted to save some space. Save space after Mail upgrade
