how do i use whatnow's attach to attach a file, like a mail
message, with a specific Content-Type? i.e., if i use this:
Nmh-Attachment: /home/pgf/Mail/inbox/2902
i get a Content-Type of text/plain rather than message/rfc822
I've been thinking about this. It's possible, though maybe
a bit tricky, to determine if the file is a message in the
user's MH folders. If it is, should attach set the
Content-Type for the part to message/rfc822?
For that determination, one way might be based on the full
path to the file, which attach already finds. We could
iterate over the directory portion of that path, starting
from the bottom and adding one level each time. If
"mhpath +dir filename" succeeds and if the inodes of the
files match, then that file is an MH message.

Going from memory here (instead of the source code). The attach code
uses the "file" command to determine the content type. And, of course,
one of the reasons that I use nmh is that the messages are plain text
files.
Oh! Just looked at the file man page, and someone has added a --mime
option that does the right thing and recognizes messages in ascii text.
So I'd simply change the attach code to use file --mime and maybe get
rid of some of the stuff that I originally put in there to create mime
types from collected information.
Note that it even plugs in the charset. So maybe this is a simple
short-term solution to the whole discussion. Even though I'm swamped
at the moment I can probably find time to make this change if it's
agreeable.
