Would work for me! But I hope it will let me do something like:

         Attach:file.txt"size, date"

or have additional options like:

         Attach:file.txt"sizeanddate"

Just size alone would be great. I have one wiki with a 17 meg file 
lurking amongst a bunch of 1 meggers and it takes people by surprize.
