This came about because people liked the `save attachment' dialog
more than the standard gtk save dialog that was used for saving
text articles, so I merged the two together -- the dialog has an
option for saving the article text, and a separate option for
saving attachments.  Clearly I should've renamed the dialog's
title when I merged the two functions...

Chris has already fixed this title in CVS.  Chris, you are the
wind beneath my wings. :)
