What is a proper way to send a resume through email?

When companies ask you to submit your resume through email, would you just copy and paste the resume to the body of the email, or would you write a little message and then attached the resume to the email.
I herd it doesn’t matter which way you do it, but I just want to be sure for the next time I want to submit my resume.

You must send a covering letter containing reference from where you came to know and the post you are applying and the attach your recently updated resume file as per company’s requirement.

    There are multiple ways to send it through e-mail. I’ll list the way that HR reps have told me the way they like to see it.

    In the title of the E-mail list the position and job reference number. In the body of the e-mail is your cover letter. Find out the name of the person who is handling the e-mail resumes for the job position. That is a must. If you can not find out who it is use “Dear Sir or Madam”. Anything else is a guaranteed removal from the pile of potential applicants. Speak a bit about the position and talk up the points where you are a good fit. Normal cover letter stuff. Don’t include the website that you found it at, do include a phone number under your name as you sign below. Attach your resume with your name as the title of the document.
