But definitely sick to use that structure instead of making the

not to the text.



Maybe it's not so strange, Paul ... the UI does seem to get you to
add attachments to a message, but then they always appear inline at
the insertion point. So in that sense they attach to the text in the UI.

Only if you're using rich text. If your messages are all plain text, this
doesn't happen the same way, which is why the attachment should be an
element of the message.

Huh. Works fine for me -- plain text, attachment in the middle. (Mail winds up sending it as multipart/mixed.) While I think that adding "attachment" as a direct element of "message" would make a lot of sense -- and I note that the existing "attachment" class is less than useful, since it doesn't tell you where the file is -- I'd posit that having them as an element of "text" is *not* completely nonsensical.
