Does not matter. Each employee is different. Many people want to get an email or cover letter that tells why you are able to perform the job. Personally – I think a phone call needs to be made for each time you send an email…

Follow up skills is something you need to get better results from each resume sent.

    Do both – putting the text of your cover letter in the body of the email will help the recruiter see that you are qualified for the position. Then they can print out the attachments (cover letter and resume) in the proper formatting, which will definitely look better than a printed out email. Taking the extra step does not take much time, and every little advantage helps.
