1. A system for preventing information contained in a cryptographic attachment from being stripped from a message to a mobile device, the system comprising:
- a memory subsystem configured to store data;
a processor being coupled to the memory subsystem and configured to read data from the memory subsystem; and
an inline generator software module stored in the memory subsystem and executable on the processor, the inline generator software module configured to;
identify a cryptographic attachment element in a message having body elements and attachment elements, the cryptographic attachment element including cryptographic information specifying cryptographic protocols associated with the cryptographic attachment element;
extract the cryptographic information from the cryptographic attachment element;
generate a body element by converting the cryptographic attachment element in accordance with the extracted cryptographic information; and
insert the body element into a body part of the message.
