Well -- it was a proposal for a possible feature.  Just as storing a
file link lets you keep the context with, it would be nice if we had
context with us when storing e-mail links.  At least for what you're
trying to achieve (directly go to an attachment).

Why don't you try a simple ~/.mailcap like this:

application/pdf; /usr/bin/acroread '%s'; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"; 
description=Portable Document Format; nametemplate=%s.pdf

Or digg for the documentation of `org-file-apps' -- here you can bind
extension and application directly.
