To save keystrokes? That shouldn't be a consideration in scripts.
And interactively, "a path" (at the What Now? prompt) is less
keystrokes that "Attach: path".
not if i'm already in my editor, it's not. and if i wait until leaving
the editor, i'll likely forget the attachment. so i sometimes use an
editor macro to create the Attach: header, and sometimes i type it by
hand. i could easily imagine doing that with Forward: as well.
clearly this boils down to preference. i prefer not to confuse the MH
user interface (what appears in the text editor, and on the command
line) with unnecessary visual clutter.

I put one in this message. (And also an Nmh-Attach: header, which will
get scrubbed out, see below.)
great! so there's no problem. ;-) :-)

Yes, but why not try to do better: if one does leak out, allow anyone to
track it down.
i'd think adding an "X-Mailer: nmh-1.6" header would help even more.
(i confess i'm a little surprised that we don't already emit such a
header. i see that exmh does.)
