A (very) quick survey seems to indicate to me that's a Linux-ism.

I see no reason why can't simply improve mhn.defaults; that should
make things better for the usual case.

Also, since we're revisiting things ... maybe we should make -attach
the default?  With X-MH-Attachment?  The people who use it haven't reported
any problems, right?  From what I see it doesn't affect anything if you
don't use it (and make -attachformat 1 be the default as well).
