 Maybe I'm the only person in the whole world to make this distinction, but
 IMNSHO an encoded file in (or as) body of a message is not an attachment.

 In my understanding, the notion of an "attachment" implies a structure -
 like a structured message body as defined by the MIME standards. A flat,
 non-MIME message OTOH has no such structure, and can therefore not contain
 attachments.
