I made this change so that inline images work in replies, it needs to be
smarter about which parts it copies (for instance the signature on this
message).  I went ahead and did it anyway since we really need people
testing the image parts, and restricting which attachments to add is
less likely to cause problems.  Hopefully one of us can make it work
properly soon.
