Perhaps it would be good to have a list of different attachements. For
example:
- Text: Include it directly in the e-mail. If it has more formating
  there are other options like html, tex, rtf, odt, ...
- Audio: Use ogg vorbis, or if you need a better quality flac.
- Images: ...

Beside that I like the text.

Best wishes,
Matthias
