Once you added this configuration, if you ever wanted to defeat it for a
single invocation, how would you do so?  Edit the configuration file
again?

Not that I am objecting to the patch, as I am unlikely to have such a
configuration, but are there people who need to send attachment sometimes
but not other times?  They can say --attach from the command line without
adding the configuraiton if they send their patch non-attached more often
than as an attachment, but if they most of the time need to attach but
sometimes need to send in-line, they do not have an easy way to do so.
