I can confirm that the same misbehavior happens when invoked as "mailx",
fwiw. This is actually a data loss issue, because the body text sent on
stdin is entirely discarded. As such, i'd consider even elevating this
to a release-critical bug report.
fwiw, if i try to be clever and get it to consider the incoming text by
using:
mailx --content-type=text/plain --attach-fd=0 -s 'some subject' -A
somefile.csv m...@example.com
then i end up with an extremely weird multipart/mixed structure:
[…]
