We are all geeks here, and we all know what's an archive.

My first reaction was please don't do that !

But then I remember my father who does not know what is this strange attachment (archive) attached to his mail.

I understand disagrements but I think that we should try to test this proposition (double-click->extract and open nautilus on it) on Karmic and see users feedbacks. I suggest to add a notification "archive successfully extracted".

For us (geeks), it will be a simple reflex to change, but for "simple" users I think that it will be better.
