For the same reason why the dialog should be "removed" (=not be displayed 
automatically): there's a sensible default for every option, so there's no 
reason to annoy the user with this dialog. The only field without a 
sensible default is Description, but even that is hardly used, because 
there's already a filename and people normally refer to their attachment 
in the mail body.

If we add more options, these will have a sensible default, too.

I never used this dialog, i.e. I always just click OK. Maybe you are using 
it to test things (encoding), because you're a developer? I see no reason 
why a user should change the options in this dialog. BTW, at least 
Netscape 4.7's mail client also doesn't have such a dialog.

 Daniel
