At a minimum, there needs to be a way to control whether or not the 
property expansion takes place.

Are you aware that this can be done manually by using the <copy> task 
with the expandproperties filter to copy the original body file to a 
temporary location?  This is a bit more powerful, since there are other 
types of filters that can be applied.  This suggests that the syntax:

   <mail ...>
       <files>
          <include ...>
       </files>
       <filterchain> ... </filterchain>
       ...
    </mail>

might be a good way to specify this, avoiding an explicit <copy> task.
