I worked on this bit of code for the 5.2 release and added the attach_only 
handling at that time; I think I did change the default mime type from 
multipart/alternate to multipart/mixed. My primary focus was to get the 
credit card attachment on order reports to take and retain a user-assigned 
filename, which it was not doing consistently on all email clients before.

I'm open to suggestions on this - perhaps the mime type should be settable 
in all cases.
