I love properties and think they should be everywhere. But consistency is more important, so I suspect that EmailMessage.is_attachment should be demoted to a normal method. Why? Because if it remains a property then I am likely to first write:
 if msg.is_attachment:
 ...
and then later, when doing another bit of email logic, write:
 if msg.is_multipart:
 ...
Unfortunately this second piece of code will give me no error and will appear to run just fine, because bool(a_method) always returns True without a problem or warning or error. But the result will not be what I expect: the if statement's true block will always run, regardless of whether the message is multipart.
Since EmailMessage is still provisional, and since no one can use is_attachment yet anyway because it is broken for nearly all attachments, mightn't we make these two features consistent before calling it official?
