attachments -- double click should open folders, not attach them
Behaviour when selecting attachments should mimic Finder in Yosemite. Double click expands folders in Finder, but when you have the dialog box for selecting attachments open and double click on a folder, Airmail attaches the whole folder (freezing and taking a long time to zip it up if it is large) rather than opening the folder. Behaviour should be that you click the folder and then click Select if you want to attach a whole folder, and that when you double click you open the folder so you can select a file within it.

This is still a problem, I've wasted a lot of time due to this bug by accidentally attaching a huge folder, crashing the client and having to force quit, losing my email in the process..

OK, I waited long enough for this.
Bye bye Airmail! -

This is the best idea ever!! Drives me nuts. The only good thing about this is it saves the draft to the drafts folder up to the point I tried to attach a file. That way I can kill AirMail from the Dock by right clicking and hitting Quit. Usually have to do this a few times until it says 'Force Quit'. This shuts it all down, I can open back up the app and resume my email from the draft folder (being veeeerrrryyyy carful not to double click any folders when attaching ;)).

When will this be fixed? It is driving me insane. I've lost several hours this week on this issue.

This is the nth time I have mistakenly double clicked on a folder and sent this software into a tizzy trying to zip up the contents of the folder. This is ridiculous. What were the developers thinking? Unusable.

This urgently needs to be fixed. I keep having to sit and wait for five minutes while Airmail zips a 5 GB directory instead of opening it to let me select a file inside it. So frustrating.

If attaching will stay as the default behaviour, we need a warning dialog.

I have this problem only with Yosemite (home computer) and not with El Capitan (work). Super frustrating.

Yes. I just ran into this today. How else are you supposed to find a file in a folder other than attaching the entire folder....

YES PLEASE. On Mac, double-clicking correctly opens the folder, but Command + O zips and attaches a folder. It's a nice feature, but improperly implemented when it overwrites such a basic standard function of an operating system. I've never once tried to use this in this way; instead, only end up getting burned and lose emails and end up having to force quit.
