Workaround

Use the Files app or other apps to access content and then utilize the sharesheet. For example, using Files, you can naviggate to the fie you wish to attach and then select share, followed by mail. You can access the Writing Tools by finding them in the "edit" rotor. These work arounds are why it does not have a higher severity rating.
