Concerning org-preview-latex-fragment: I have some code
which indeed attaches the png generated by this
function. However it is very primitive. 

org-preview-latex-fragment generates pngs in a subdirectory
called ltxpng. These pngs are then inserted  in
the buffer where org-preview-latex-fragment was executed. Since
one cannot be sure that the ltxpng  directory is non-empty, IMHO it
should be deleted before generating the png.

This is done by function 
my-delete-ltxpngdir, which needs the trashcan pkg.

Then a very simple modification of an already existing
function does the rest:
message-attach-all-png-from-ltxpngfolder.

I attach it if you want to test it.
