So then we asked, "When you save an attachment, do you save the email along with it?" Again, this is another question without simple yes or no answers, so we coded it this way rather than trying to fit the responses into straight yes or no slots. As you can see, the majority of people who responded did not preserve the relationship between the attachment and the email. Some people felt that the email content was not important, and some people stored both in their email program.
