Heh. I decided against making it a single line for readability purposes.
Yeah, it can be done in a single line, but it will be less readable and
less efficient.

One of the easiest ones we have ever done, yes, and I think that's a good thing.
Programmers of all skill levels follow the quiz and it's a common complaint that all the problems are "advanced" material. I'm trying to get better about that.
May I suggest smthng to make it more challenging?
1. Vowel can be exchanged with vowel only,
consonant can be exchanged with consonant only;
2. Parameterize the solution, so that set of exchangeable characters classes
can be specified (optionally);
The Ruby Quizzes are ideas. If you need to add this to challenge yourself, go for it. We won't come and take your keyboard away, I promise.

Feel free to add more to your own code if you like. Since I'll be
writing the summary, I'll be looking at all the solutions and will
comment on extras as I find them interesting, appropriate, etc.

Sorry, if I'm breaking the Quiz rules.
I've been able to condense mine to about 15 lines - I'm always impressed
that you guys can shrink stuff down so far... I just wish I could understand
them after they're posted to the group!

Working on my short version. 62 chars long and works for your
example, but still trying to get <70 with it working
correctly with digits.
(Sorry for the noise) - the test text used there doesn't go too well
with my solution, which limits how much of a word is rearranged. This is
a better example:
[rosco@jukebox text-munger-76]$ ./munger.rb test2.txt
La viiosn euroénepne strégiatque
[rosco@jukebox text-munger-76]$ ./munger.rb test2.txt
La vioisn eurpeénone strgaéitque
[rosco@jukebox text-munger-76]$ ./munger.rb test2.txt
La vioisn eurenopéne strtagiéque
[rosco@jukebox text-munger-76]$ ./munger.rb test2.txt
La vision eurpeéonne stréigatque

$ ./munger.rb test.txt
Attehcaed is my résmué.
$ ./munger.rb test.txt
Atthaceed is my réumsé.
$ ./munger.rb test.txt
Attacheed is my rémsué.
$ ./munger.rb test.txt
Attcaehed is my rémusé.
$ ./munger.rb test.txt
Attecahed is my rémsué.
Aye, usually I'd agree with you. But in this case the two examples are
almost exactly the same. Just changing it to work with input instead of
a string.
The first one I posted was in reply to a post about one-liners. Not
intended as a seperate submission.
My solution scrambles only part of the inside of the word, depending on
the word length, and favours keeping more from the start of the word. So
with this example it's taking the six letter 'rémsué' and deciding to
scramble 3 letters, 'msu' (remains after we take two from the start, one
from the end). So with that input, the e's wouldn't be touched.
I just didn't think about that before I posted - the second output I
posted showed some longer accented words with the e's moving around
properly :).

Well, that's a question of more random, or more readable. A good point
was raised about longer words becoming unrecognisable when just randomly
scrambled...
OTOH If we're doing random scrambling, leaving only first and last
letter I think I can get back down to two lines...
What's everyone else doing?

The pattern, "eu???ne str???que" is constant in your results.
"text".gsub(/\B(\w{2,})\B/) { |s| s.length.times { |i| r = rand(s.length);
s[i], s[r] = s[r], s[i] }; s }
It is one line, but it does have a couple of semi-colons.
