Now if you specify to attach a file in the Emailer the file is mandatory. It will be nice to specify if the attachment is mandatory or not. In some cases my attachment is not created in the procedure, for example an error log.

Agreed. Emailer should provide a way to escape out of non-attachment features when they do not have one. A conditional setting (like available in other transformers) would be fine fix.
The work around I have been using is two identical transformers, and a tester for attachment having a value and routing accordingly.

Hard agree, I have a workflow that may or may not have 2 attachments, this is now 4 instances of the emailer!
I think a conditional step would work well.
