One thing you might want to point out to people who like to send memos
as attachments (something our customers love to do, for some reason): if
the memo is sent as the body of the email, one can use the search tools
of the email client to search it later, thus allowing a better use of
the email client as a personal document repository. An attachment, on
the other hand, cannot be searched. It also consumes space on the mail
server and/or the client workstation.
