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.
