That has nothing to do with it. There are two digest formats.

Plain text is a digest with all non-plain text parts stored aside and
replaced by links and flattened into a single plain text message.

MIME format is a multipart digest with each original message in its own
sub-part.

Your user who gets 'attachments' has elected to receive MIME digests.
You can see this on the user's options page or the admin membership list
pages.

Whether a MIME digest is rendered with the message parts inline, only as
attachments or not at all is a function of the mail client reading the
message.
