Catalina will not Allow Attachments
Since "upgrading" to Catalina, I can no longer attach files (jpeg, tiff, well, anything) to either my emails (via outloook) or messages (via imessage).
Please help.

Rebooting once or twice is a good first step.
To trouble shoot further you can:
Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262
Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and test. Reboot and test will take a little longer as caches get rebuilt.
This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
Test issue in another user (or guest user) account https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204443
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
You can also reapply the combo update on top of your existing macOS to sort anomalies:
Combo update macOS 10.15.3 https://support.apple.com/kb/DL2030
