email disappears when deleting attachments

After I download email into my Inbox I typically save attachments to my hard drive for later reference. As I am viewing the email and after I've saved the attachment (the attachment is not open) I right-click on the attachment and delete it. At that time the message immediately disappears and cannot be found in any folder in my download Inbox or in any local folder - not Junk, Trash, Inbox, Archive, Sent or Drafts. This is a random, though frequent, occurrence and I can find no specific pattern to its occurrence. It occurs whether or not the email was Read or Unread. Repairing the folders does not reveal the deleted email(s). Has anyone else experienced this?
