Windows Phone 7.8: Allow email attachments of any file type (doc, pdf, etc...)
Currently, it seems we can only attach pictures. If we use our phones for anything other than entertainment, we need to be allowed to attach documents to our emails! Also, other apps should have access to this capability, so we can attach any type emails (with the exception of certain types that the client could warn about, but still attach if the user allows).
[It seems that the Admin has requested that we post each idea for 7.8 individually and vote, so please abide by this if you want our ideas to make it though to the team!]

Get rid of the RE: replies and handle international characters correctly in mail
As soon as I reply to a mail with international characters I get a new subject thrown in the stream. This means that for my colleges that uses gmail, my mail always get thrown of in an new thread. I dont care if it's a standard that is used. It doesn't work with the current email structures. My inbox always looks like this:
Thread 1: Thomas, Peter (2) Kan vi ta vår lunch imorgon?
Thread 2: Me, Peter (2) RE: Kan vi ta v?r lunch imorgon?It's NOT ok if you want to be taken seriously?
