Perhaps if you wanted to grab a snapshot of a file that may change, you
would use this command. Others may have a better ideas for the use
case.
It might also be useful if you want to edit the attachment before
sending without modifying the original file. An example would be to
remove private information from a log or settings file.
Thanks for the explanations and possible uses. Makes a little more
sense now.
