It's not that attachments are not welcome.
There are various binary encodings for attachments, and
some of those binary encodings are not welcome.  I think
because there's no open-source way of decoding them.

If you look at the list, you'll see that attachments are used a lot.

Copy-and-paste, though, in general will not work, because it
usually changes tabs into spaces, which ruins a patch.

I think it was just the tabs-to-spaces issue.
Why don't you try sending an attachment from Opera?
