Have you tried kerning?

I haven't tried this with attachments, but since they're just treated
as glyphs, you might be able to set a kerning attribute on a range that
includes the character before the attachment and the attachment itself.

You'd do this by setting the range to have the NSKernAttributeName
attribute, with a value  (apparently) specified in points.

I'll admit that a potential problem with this approach is if the user
deletes the attachment, you'll want to remove the kerning of the
previous character.
