Heh, well ... I'll let you fight that out with Markus, since he didn't
seem to have any issues with using (and extending) the attachment system.
Also, I see that plenty of people really like using attach, so I can't
see dropping it.

I'll be honest ... I like composing the attachments in the message, but
specifying all of the junk necessary to make attachments work in other
mailers is annoying nowadays.  And having file completion when using
attach is nice as well.

Hm.  I could see supporting this as well.  Although I don't know if anyone
uses [description] anymore.  Thoughts?
