Because that way I can look at it and identify errors without having to savean attachment and then open it up in another application.I don't *have* to save to attachment to just view it. I said that it's easier (if the purpose is to compile it) to just save it than to cut/copythe relevant bits from the body of the mail.
I much prefer attachments too, as long as they are of complete .ly files. With 2 clicks the attachment opens up in my favourite editor with LilyPond highlighting applied. It's then easier to spot mistakes and make any corrections. A single press on PF9 will compile it. If the code is inline, long lines have very often been wrapped, so I have to manually open my editor, cut and paste the code, and fix any wrapped lines before I can properly view or compile it. I'm much more likely to investigate a problem with an attached file for these reasons. Trevor
