9 it's also nice to have that information actually _in_ my mailbox and not
10 of at the end of some attachment URL, considering i'm offline 5 days of
11 the week. i've been in this situation a few times now, where i've
12 needed an attachment from a bug i'm working on and had to wait half a
13 week to do anything with it.

15 yeah i'm a corner case, and needing an AT's emerge --info isn't that
16 common, but why cut these corners when we don't have to? especially
17 since the reason for doing so is to save someone from having to actually
18 scroll a mouse wheel or hit delete, or be bothered with getting an email
19 when a AT posts their info in a comment (which you'll still get if they
20 do it as an attachment anyways).
