:) Nothing beats inline quotes when it comes to readability. But I guess
some of the modern GUI clients offer smooth viewing of text attachments.
e.g. I think in T-bird you can see the contents of a text attachment
separated from the email by a horizontal separator without actually
opening it.
However I also notice these clients often mess up the MIME types when
attaching something; this in turn screws up the archive and confuses
email clients on the receiving end[1].
Two examples of how not to do it:

[1] I believe I learnt about the importance of attachment MIME types
from you Nick. ;)
