Not sure it's worse but it seems not what we are used to.
All mail clients I know (and also Thunderbird) create a new file with a full copy of the attachment. That seems to create a link to the attachment. If wonder what happens if one edits the saved attachment (let's say it's a .doc on .odt) but I bet that it's just a bug, not the intended behavior.

Title:
  drag n drop attachments is broken

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Confirmed
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  Dragging and dropping an attachment produces a draggable icon which,
  when released to the desktop, disappears. So, it looks like drag n
  drop is going to work... but it doesn't. Attachments must be saved in
  other ways (right-click and using open/save dialog box, etc.).

  Attachments should either not turn into draggable icons, or else drag
  'n' drop attachments should actually work.
