Feature #4774

Change the hyperlink for file attachment to view and download

Description
Current hyperlink for file attachment can cause confusion to some user. They assume the link point to the file and use browser's "Save Link As" on it and not getting what user is expecting.
It will be better for each of the file attachment to display 2 links right away called "View" and "Download" that goes to the appropriate controller.
I think this has different behaviour for text files and other types (which makes it even worse!) - text files link to a formatted view of the file contents (HTML) while other types link to the file itself?
Inconsistency leads to mistakes...
- Target version set to Candidate for next major release
Agreed, I'm doing the same mistake each time too.
Please refer to feature #8176 for sample TXT files.

Reopened to get sure that r9326 behaves finely with email notifications?

It doesn't since image_tag use path only. It's removed in email notifications in r9333.
