Hi, I'm just wondering how many people are working on improving
attachment-sending in nmh.  It's definitely an interest of mine, particularly
sending named attachments, but I haven't done much nmh development yet, so
I'm sure no one else knows of my interest.

Perhaps all of us should coordinate and collaborate rather than submit
a bunch of similar patches simultaneously?  Either way, it's roughly
the start of the holiday season, which brings a lot of hustle and
bustle in addition to vacation days, and here's another reminder for those
of us who planned on hacking on nmh near the end of the year. :)
