When users open a file from email instead of saving it to a disk, when they
do save the file, the default location is a temporary folder. It's
impossible to find after that, especially when it's not listed in my recent
documents or under the file menu. The default save should be to my documents
and it should appear in my recent documents and under the file menu. Was
this a one time quirk with my system or does it happen a lot?

It happens regularly and is one of many reasons to save attachments and then
open them directly from the saved location.
