However, it IS 2008...

One would think that Microsoft could find a way to fix this issue, or at
least shut off the "Save" button and require a "Save As"...

To have hit "Save" and have it disappear is so disheartening.

I really hate the fact that I open an email, open the attachment (word or
Publisher) , then spend 4 hours editing a document someone sent me.

I press save, and close the document.

I open Word or Publisher again to work on the file, and It is not in the
recent documents list.

Then I remember that it was an attachment in an email - Open that
attachment
again, but what I get is the un-edited version.

The version that I worked on for 4 hours is GONE!

This happens in Outlook, as well as Live mail.

Really sucks to be me right now.

Any way to get these documents back?

They are possibly in your Temp or Temp/internet folders......BTW, this
happens with ALL email clients, not just MS ones....
