The error now explains that opening such a path could cause the Mac to connect a network drive, and asks you to copy the file to an ordinary local folder and attach it from there. This applies to everyone.\n\n**Why**\n\nOn macOS, these paths can quietly connect a network location just by being opened. If an attachment is refused with this message, copy the file to a normal folder on your own machine and pass that path instead."}
