The encoding format is not related at all with how the mail client 
displays a mail part: as attachment or inside the mail.

Curiously, there is no concept of "mail body" in the MIME message format.

Mail clients usually take the first part that is text or HTML as the 
body. But I think you can help him by using the "Content-Disposition" 
header.

I will make some tests as soon as I have time.
