 why not?
 it's now the primary UI for attachments.  why not make it a rich UI?

It could lead to accidental attachments e.g; people do not verify what
the glob would match first, or they mistype something (comma
instead of period)

typos can already cause accidental attachments.  mh doesn't insist on
absolute paths, either, and that can certainly lead to accidental
attachments.

perhaps what's needed instead is a confirmation step at whatnow, to
confirm that what's been attached is what was intended.
