Which is why I thought the intent was to create something exceedingly simple, e.g.: . a single command to attach a file, perhaps with C-u that allows finer control on MIME headers (see Jason's proposal not long ago) . a single command to save one attachment to a disk file, perhaps with C-u that would run a program on the data rather than saving it Anything more complex than that is really going to resemble existing code in mml and elsewhere, and is not worth another from-scratch effort, IMO.
