When I attach something to an email, I can see it in the Task's attachments after I hit send, by other users do not see it in their view. I don't know if this is a bug or intended, but it doesn't really make sense as is. Other users can still see and download the attachment from the activity thread, just not in task attachments. Then, if the other user (or myself) downloads and attaches the file to the task, they can see it, but I can now see it twice.
If this is meant to be a security feature, it needs rethinking. Perhaps attachment level permissions instead? Thank you.
