Adding Attachments in Mail, is it awful or am I do something wrong?

Question

I just switched over to Mail from MS Entourage 2004. When I go to add an attachment in the email, even though I have the preference in the Edit/Attachments/Add Attachment at the End of the Email selected, it sometimes splits the message I wrote when I drag and drop the attachment into the email.
Entourage provided a little box just below the address block where you could drop the attachment in, that was so much better. Is there something I am doing wrong here, or this just the way it is?

Answer 1

So, I figured it out.
Sometimes I want the exact opposite order than is (reliably) possible given the table sort algorithm.
If, in a table sort function, one replaces:
return order
with
return not order
(in a perfectly working sort function), it reverses the order of the sort but may not handle the last element properly.
The reason is this:
The table sort return value is determining whether to swap two values or not to swap them, it is *not* determining absolute ordering - if it were, then returning true would mean order one way, and returning false would mean order the opposite way.
