'sending', but thatʼs minor. Do we want to mention
'disposition=inline' here, or is that too much? (I donʼt really mind
since Gnus can be told to show specific attachments inline anyway, but
maybe other MUAs can't)

Feel free to fix.

No, I actually prefer an attachment.  It's safer, IME.

OK. I guess I should stop setting 'inline' on the patches I send to
emacs-devel, then.
