So, it's OK for mere spectators to be changing attachment types in order to 
access others' attachments directly, and not expected that they add CC to do so?

Here's one like I described, not my own, an attached image instead of genuine 
text that SM (and FF28) wants me to do something with other than view it in 
the open tab:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=508185
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=349485
Another:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=874486
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=640697
Another:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=850783
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=606233
One I filed:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=974780
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=761671

Chromium automatically loads images in Gwenview, which I do not want 
happening (not much problem, since I rarely find Chromium usable). Konq3 
behaves like the Geckos.
