Perhaps it'd be bizarre if Mail were indeed acting as a surrogate file system, 
but it's not, so it's not.

Lots of iOS apps provide access to the "Open (document) In..." api. What 
happens is the current application will toss a copy of the document in question 
over to the receiving application, which will then store and display the copy 
as part of its local document trove. You're not opening/seeing one app's 
document in another app._______________________________________________
