However, saving (possibly expensive or slow) download traffic on reception is possible by having Email-chat clients always send attachments in separate emails, and mark them (in the subject "envelope" header) for the receipient to know that they only contain a single attachment without any further text in the body.
Then the corresponding message bodies may only be downloaded on request, if in traffic saving mode.
