If you mean include an arbitrary binary attachment (say an executable
file) displayed inline in the archived message rather that removed and
replaced by a link, then no, there is no way to do that.

If you mean replace the attachment with a link that preserves the
original attachment file name and extension, put the following in
mm_cfg.py

SCRUBBER_DONT_USE_ATTACHMENT_FILENAME = False
SCRUBBER_USE_ATTACHMENT_FILENAME_EXTENSION = True


See the documentation of these settings in Defaults.py for more info.
