  1. Open the problematic attachment in GoodReader. You can do this from the mail client by clicking and holding the attachment's icon in the original message and selecting 'open in "GoodReader"'.
  2. In GoodReader, go to your "My Documents" list (top left button). Select "Manage Files" from the right pane. Choose the document(s) you want to send from the left pane, then hit the "E-Mail" icon in the right pane.
  3. The default iPad email client will launch, opening a message with the attachment from GoodReader in it, and you can choose your recipients and send as usual. Despite the fact that it visually appears to be doing the exact same thing, the attachments will come through intact.

The primary drawback to this, besides the extra 15s it takes, is that you get the attachments to the recipient, but they're no longer associated with the text content of the original email (since you're not actually forwarding the message).
Thanks - I'll try that next time.
