[MlMt] situating a PDF attachment within a message

In Apple Mail, I am used to the ability to situate an attachment, usually a PDF, in a particular place within a message.  So I can write things like:

> You might look at this paper:
>
> [PDF icon appears here]
>
> and then I recommend that you read this one:
>
> [PDF icon appears here]
>
> and you will be happy.

— by dragging the PDF file to the appropriate place in the message I am composing.  It seems that MailMate has some Markdown-related way of doing this for graphic files, but PDFs seem to show up unconnected to message text.

This is often important to me, so I am wondering if there is some setting I am missing, or some way to get MailMate to do this.

I see old messages about displaying the actual content of PDFs inline, which is not what I am trying to do here, but haven't spotted this question.

Thanks in advance.
