Sure! (dragged and dropped on my desktop) Done. No error message.

->I've had a report that the attachment save fails with an "invalid
->filename" error but I have absolutely no problem saving it (to a HPFS

Same for me (both the lack of problems and the guess)

Just in case, I also used the RMB and the "Save As" menu choice. I chose the 
E:\WinTmp directory, and the E: drive is an HPFS one.
BINGO! "The specified file name is not valid" ... Here it is. It seems to be 
related with the "Save As" dialog. If I choose the third menu option, that 
happens to point to a different dir on the same partition, your file gets 
saved without a glitch. A new bug appears!
