I think having different behavior on our system compared to other
distributions is a "bad idea" (tm).

No, not everyone. I agree with how Pine does things. If you
want to attach something then it goes through mail encoded such
that absolutely _nothing_ can be changed. Plain-text can be
altered. If you want to send plain text, then simply include
the file instead. Makes perfect sense to me.
