WIth the small attachments button being the only indicatior for
attachments, and the fact that inline stuff like vCards counts as
attachments, it is currently very easy to overlook attachments.
Attachments are an important part of msgs, sometimes the most important
one. When composing such msgs myself, I often do not put any verbiage
into the msg body that hints to the msg.
I.e. it is quite possible that a user completely misses the point of
msgs. I leave it up to you to figure out the consequences (missing
deadlines etc.).
Thinking about 4.x, a solution seems easy: Just put a note at the end of
the body, that there are attachments, in they aren't all inline. Or,
imitate 4.x completely and add links for each of the non-inline
attachments. Shouldn't be hard and completely solves the problem.
Anyone has a better suggestion? Opinions?
