Is it common for popular MUAs to have a single command that lets

separate commands for "read text from file (as opposed to
typing)" and "attach a file (of random type, not necessarily and
more often than not text)".

Most have only "attach" through various means of point-and-click and drag-and-drop. Thunderbird too lacks the very basic ability of "include this file as part of the message". I still haven't been able to find an addon for it that does just that.

The "easiest" way is to open it in an editor and Copy'n'Paste it into the message. Unfortunately, not all clipboards or applications can be trusted not to mangle whitespace. I learned that the hard way trying to use Mail.app to send out patches. I ended up just installing Mutt. Perhaps I should figure out how this "git-send- email" works, although it doesn't appear to support authentication...
