Which, I might add, is a pita. I end up with a directory full of files
like "remessag" and "quantel" and such because of these stupid attachments.
 Overworks my hard drive, uses up disk space, and hides legitimate,
important files.

I dunno, but if you can't describe something adequately with plain text
plus attachements (as in included when necessary) perhaps you don't
understand your subject well enough. If you need to include formatting
(such as Word files or data or even code) it can be sent as an attachment
(which, I might add, is more useable than trying to cut and paste from an
e-mail message.)
