Smartphone Annoyance: Email Attachments

This is annoying. Earlier today, as I was running out of the door, I emailed myself a small video file (350k) figuring I would grab it later on while on the road. A few hours later, I had a minute so I sync’d my email on my Smartphone (an Audiovox 5600) and downloaded the email with the attachment.
While I was able to play the video, I wanted to save it on my storage card for future viewing, however I couldn’t find a way.
A quick search of google reveals how you can save it: Use file explorer, navigate to the \Storage\Application Data\Volatile folder (only after opening the attachment), and copy the file to the storage card.
Um, wouldn’t of it just been easier to add a "Save Attachment" menu item?

Well, my “quick search of google” brought me HERE - so thanks for the tip, and yeah, it’s a big pain in the butt

Thanks. Hopefully the boys from MS will happen across this page. I needed this function within the first 4 hours of owning a Smartphone.
