I'm OK with a quick download, honestly - as Gman mentioned the Gdocs viewer can be incredibly slow by itself. Most of the PDFs I'm viewing are under 500KB and would be quick downloads. Even if it just stuck it in a temp folder and opened Preview, I'd be OK with that - I basically just don't want the PDFs cluttering up my download folder, it better fits my mental model to keep them attached to the message. (I assume that means using the Safari PDF viewer isn't easy or doable, right?)
Finally, crazy idea here - what about a size-limited attachment view cache? Say, 50MB, keeping the most recently used. That way it wouldn't have to redownload if you view the same attachments frequently... Again, not a huge inconvenience - just a few thoughts on one of my most-used apps.
