How do you accidentally delete an attachment? When I select Delete from the attachment menu a warning box appears asking if I really want to do this since it is non-reversible.

I tested this and the deleted attachment did not show in the Windows Recycle Bin and a search for the file name of the attachment found nothing. I would say it is gone.
