After reading through all the comments I'd like to propose addendum. Although mainly associated with publications it also serves in other area's.

something that is added; especially : a section of a book that is added to the main or original text




ANSWER 2

Score 0


I suggest the following alternatives:

Appendage: a subordinate part attached to something; an auxiliary part; addition

[Edit: just realized that appendage is already suggested by Benjamin Harman in a comment]

Adjunct: something added to another thing but not essential to it

What's wrong with "attachment?" Mathematica uses "prepend" (which actually means to mull over) to mean "attach at the beginning" and "append"(which actually means to attach anywhere) to mean "attach at the end." But this is just jargon. You can append a pearl to a necklace right in the middle.

I would suggest the word "appendix". But when you include documents to an e-mail you should call them "attachments".
