Re: [Nmh-workers] Conflict between "mime" command and attach

Well, let me make this alternate proposal:

- "attach" adds Nmh-Attachment headers as per usual.  Maybe we'll add
  something like: "attaching foo.pdf to message as application/pdf" so
  the user can see what MIME type is being used (really, that's all
  I care about).

- You can add or not add mhbuild directives to the message if you want.

- If you add mhbuild directives, you can run "mime" (also, you can run
  "mime" even if you don't). mhbuild will be in charge of processing
  Nmh-Attachment headers.

- If you try to "attach" after a "mime", you get an error.

- send runs "mhbuild -auto -nodirectives".

How does that look?  More code rework, but it feels better.  Also,
with this I think it actually accomplishes what you want (attach +
inspection).

I like it.

One question:  would it make sense to put the entire mhbuild
directive in the Nmh-Attachment header instead of just the
path?  Users could then edit it as they wish.
