Attachments are just that -- attachments.

kind of by definition.  what client MUAs _do_ with those attachments
is a question of semantics.  and what gmail did (i.e., nothing) surprised
me.

If you specify a disposition of 
attachment (which we do), you can't complain about gmail doing what you 
told it.

au contraire.  i can certainly complain, which is what i did.  and now
we're talking about how to fix it.

The Attach: header is just a simple shortcut for the user to attach bits 
to be carried along with the message -- the most common case -- without 
having to add mhbuild directives to the file.  For anything more than 
that (such as inlining), you need to use mhbuild directly.

I always thought Attach: was a wart ...
