I dunno, I'd argue that every thing under that menu are
"attachment-like".  
  
The first thing most people think is "I want to *attach* this
picture to my mail".   They don't think "I'd like to use the MIME
protocol to *attach* this picture to my mail"... OK, I've convinced
myself; "Attach" would be better than "Attachments"....

But then again, "MML" never confused me.  There are only three menu
items, and I knew it had to be under one of them.

A bigger gripe would be the gratuitous sub-menus.   Attach and Insert
could be flattened IMVHO.

Cheers,  Jody
