using floppies

[Norman Silverstone]

In most cases the first step in using a floppie is to mount that floppy.
However, when opening or saving an attachment in Evolution not only does
the floppy1 appear in the panel on the left-hand side of the window but
the floppy is also auto-mounted. This is extremely useful and I wonder
why it is not available in OpenOffice where it would also be very
useful. Could someone please suggest what action to take to bring this
about?
