My e-mail software displays list messages just fine, and never as attachments.
Perhaps something in your e-mail client is misconfigured?

This message, for example, is not in an attachment.

I suppose I could also ask why you haven't configured your e-mail client to
wrap lines at a reasonable length, e.g., 80 characters, so that when we quote
your message, we don't have to reformat the paragraph first to make editing
easier. I'm not complaining or criticizing, by the way, just pointing out the
unintended consequences which can happen, and of which it may be helpful to be
aware when posting. This particular one isn't that much of a problem -
reformatting a paragraph is a single command in either Emacs or Vim, but
still, it would be nice if people followed common conventions in this area.
