That is exactly the problem I have with your attachment version, your
attachment has the extra ">" which is very strange. I expect the inline
version to have the extra ">" but not the attachment.

Yes. I kind of like this approach since it allows both side to be happy.
But the extra ">" in your attachment kind of defeat a bit the conveniences
of using attachment since I need to edit you attachment to remove
the ">" first.

On the other hand, this is not really a big issue to me so do not worry
too much about it if you can not solve the problem in your email client.
