That might be the reason.

That's true if it always survives. It will be interesting to see
if the attachment is accessible from the archives... OK, It shows
the text appended to the message so that does indeed seem the best option.

Now, how do we educate everyone on how to specify and use a text
attachment? (This is a serious question BTW since we can add it
to the tutor welcome/usage message.)
