OSX Mail attachment count incorrect in threaded conversation view

I sumitted this annoying bug report to apple today.

The attachment column reports incorrect attachment count.

Steps to repeat:

1) user A emails user B a file
2) user A forwards the same email, but without attachments, to user B.
3) User B received email sent in (2), Subject has "FW: "prefixed to it.
4) User B selects "View/Organize by thread" from the menu.
5) Observe that attachment column shows "2 items"
6) Expand the thread and observe that each message that is part of this thread shows "1 item".

Here's a screen shot, note that only the first emails in each conversation thread actually included attachments:

The only place on apple's website i could find to submit a bug report as on a "feedback" page, here: www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html.  Not that I could find a link TO that page - I only found that via a google search. 

Also,  the feedback page doesn't say if I'll get a reference number for this report or wether I'll be able to follow up on it..  Great Apple, just great - I'm left wondering whether my report will go unnoticed, whether it'll ever be fixed and if they'll even acknowledge it.

Apple, you really can't code for shit...
