I agree with the above. Email is the worst form of communication these days. So insecure it's not even funny.

I actually agree with the OP. He's not complaining there's no alternative and he's not asking how it's done he's just discussing the fact that the iOS mail app is somewhat lacking I comparison to our email needs.
I'm not a fan of third party apps that replace stock iOS apps. It's nothing more than I just don't like the app clutter. I think a lot of the restrictions relate to the lack of iOS file manager. For instance the reason we can currently only attach photos or video from within the mail app is because of there being a stock photo and video repository. iBooks is not a stock iOS app so there's no stock pdf storage or handling to then allow us to attach a pdf to an email reply or new email.
I think it will be some time and a big redesign before Apple are able to implement proper file attachments.
Who said the OP was complaining? From what I gather, some of the responses support his opinion and some indicate contentment with the native Mail app. The good thing about it is the fact that we have choices. Do I wish Apple would overhaul the native Mail app? Yes, but if they don't I won't lose any sleep over it because there are alternatives I can choose from should I need to.
Lol just download another app that suits your needs better. In the time you wrote this post you could have just done that. I can't understand complaining about something that isn't your ONLY option. There are tons of email apps that do what you want.
You just needed to read a few posts above yours and you would have seen the following post, does this answer your question about who said he was complaining?
I believe every user has to do what it takes to accomplish tasks that are important to their work or play.
Some of the 3rd party email apps are great to use and have great features.
Cloud Magic is a good email app that links Dropbox and Google Drive and others.
If this is too much for a user there are other mobile platforms that can give them what they want without a 3rd party app.
I must have 5 email apps on my phone. Basically to see what they do and having options to get stuff done. If a situation occurs and I have to send multiple pdf attachments or other documents I know what tools to use. It's just as quick as using the native email app.
If doing a lot of work via the native email is important to a user do what you have to do to get it done until Apple changes the way they do it email attachments or investigate another platform that fits your email needs.
You could... join the Crack(Berry) addicts. Our phones really are business phones with a primary focus on being the best out of the box

Wow. They kind of missed that one, eh?
A Blackberry is by far one of the worst phones to use right out of the box considering the 2 hours one would need to set it up.
My experience with Blackberry is over four years old, but it was so horrendus they have forever eaarned the nickname "Crapberry" from me. And from what (little) I've seen of their newer offerings, things haven't improved.
Haha really don't need to waste any more time debating Blackberry vs iPhone surely? - Both have their pros and cons and it's whatever suits the individual the rest is personal opinion.
Just leave that junk in the box, it's about as useful as it is out.

Prblems I had were with a personal device. Without doing anything to the built-in apps or OS, or hardware, I went through SEVEN warranty replacement devices in 18 months, one which arrived dead and had to be exchanged, leaving me without a working phone for over two days.
Other issues incuded email - having everything go through my hosted email server, then Blackberry before it reached my device only added a failure point to the chain, and fail it did - often. I had lost count on how many times I had to either go without email availability due to a FAILURE with the Blackberry server or nuke and re-configure my email settings.
Several times, the BBM application would corrupt itself and take the OS with it requiring a full device reinstall of the OS and restore. And I didn't even use BBM.
On those seven device replacements? Because everything is (was?) tied to a device ID rather than a user ID, every time I got a new warranty replacement, I had to re-register EVERYTHING.
Emal was POP-equivelent only, no IMAP available. That means that I had no access to any of my email folders when on mobile. Changes were NOT synced. Etc, etc.
The only good thing I can say about my time with Crapberry is that that phone had the best cellphone camera I had seen until I got my iPhone 5 (I had an original Droid X in between).
