from non-mh users, attachments are almost always at the end.  but if
you do your own mhbuild processing, they can easily land in the
middle.  i recently realized i should probably be doing my recipients
a favor by putting them at the end, rather than before my .sig.

thinking about it, i think i might prefer the listing at the
top, so i know what i'm in for before i start reading.  ;-)
(but i'd have no problem with having inline-only annotations at
first.)

i do like the whole plan, though.  if it will more easily allow
me to skip, or delay, waiting for company "letterhead" logos to
appear across a remote link, i'm all for it.  [1]

[1] for some reason xv, my usual image viewer, is absolutely abysmal
across a slow link.  but i haven't found a viewer i like better.
