(Slightly OT) Forwarding email: inline vs as attachment

[Rich]

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-earlier message:
I seem to remember reading something some time ago that led me to
believe that forwarding "as attachment" was preferable (somehow better)
than forwarding "inline". I may be mistaken.

In the Thunderbird tutorial, I see this:
Unless you have specific reasons not to include an email forward inline,
you should let emails be forwarded inline, by consideration for the
recipient: scrolling down is a lot easier than double clicking an email
attachment.

Can anyone explain why one would want to forward as attachment?

TIA

It seems to me that inline would be more trusted, as attachments sometimes
bear unwelcome gifts. This would be especially true if the message were not
HTML. I vote for inline...
