This is not an issue of secrecy, it's one of authentication.

Right. Is that important for list mail?


And if your MUA is so broken as to not delete attachments when it
deletes the email that they came in, well, either it needs to be
reconfigured or you need to reconsider your MUA choice.

Saving attachments permanently is an option, not a default, in a
sane world.

But sometimes I want to save the messages, especially if they address a problem similar to one I am experiencing.
