Thank you for posting regarding this issue, and we will look into the problems with using the e-mail links on the limewire.org site.

We have received several complaints regarding the exact behavior you mention, and I was just thinking this morning that a good solution would simply be to automatically rename the new file "cool photo" to "cool phot (2)" and allow the user to rename it later if they wish, but not affecting the original file in any way. We will likely be making this change for LimeWire 1.8.
