If the human intervention is the problem, then I would advocate
education, rather than attachments, as the solution: after all there is
nothing that would stop that kind of intervention *after* the attachment
has been saved. But in the face of more and more idiotic mail software
out there that mangles messages irredeemably, I will reluctantly agree:
I'm still old fashioned enough to prefer inline quoting, but I have been
known to repost something as an attachment if the inline post gets
mangled.
