Demonstrate that you actually took the time to include something specific about our company or the job you are applying for and you'll get the interview.

Very, very good advice -- explains the point of a cover letter perfectly.
One question though... If applying to a job online via email, should one attach a separate cover letter in addition to the resume? Or just use the email itself as a cover letter? Just wondering what people's opinions are like.
