Hmm.

Can I throw in 2 cents here?

I'd like to see the inline display method as an option, especially for
text and image types of attachments.  To be honest, when I saw balsa
inlining an image that someone had sent me, I though it was
brilliant... much better than an attachments widget! Maybe I'm alone
in this view though..
