if "mhbuild -auto -nodirectives" can still process Nmh-Attachment
directives at this point, then why can't "attach" after a "mime" still
work?

Because the mhbuild step can only turn a non-MIME email into a MIME one;
it can't handle being given a MIME email as input.  That's one niggle

that's what i thought.  but if that's so, then how does the last bit:
   "But ...  Nmh-Attachment headers are still processed."
work?

paul

with running "mime" at the moment;  if the mhbuild-directives need
improving and "mime" run again, one must undo the "mime" manually by
looking for the backup file in the drafts folder as there's no
"undomime" command.

Cheers, Ralph.
