Attachments can be a problem for a couple reasons.  One, they are an
excellent way to catch a virus.  Ordinary e-mail cannot carry a virus; only
files like attachments can do that.  I've made it my own policy not to open
anything that has an attachment unless I'm expecting something specific.
Another reason attachments are a problem is that they often take longer to
download and some people with slower connections have difficulties with
them.  Still others simply can't read them at all because of the way their
machines are confingured or because of the software they have on their
computers.
