What is a "true" attachment? I believe you are talking about
attachments, whose contents are not displayed [1] by default, right?
That would be "Content-Disposition: attached". As opposed to "inline"
rather than "attached" in the example above...
However, this is merely a suggestion for the receiving MUA, how to
handle and display the attachment by default. Both are actually the
same, with the only exception of the above mentioned disposition -- and
thus displaying the attachment.
Unless I am seriously mistaken, this doesn't make any difference to
SpamAssassin. It scans it anyway...
(Since you are getting a TeX attachment in expanded state by default,
the sending MUA seems to set inline disposition.)
