Nope, In Word it still shows the time I saved the attachment. as
Created and Modified. However it does show Feb 5th as last time it
was printed. Anyone know why the Created/Modified time is lost in an
e-mail attachment?
These properties are part of the file system, not the file itself.
When a file is attached to a mail message, there are no standard ways
to carry this extra information along.
The above notwithstanding, it's not clear that these properties should
be carried along: to the file system, they are, in fact, different
files and each should have their own creation/modification dates.
