Actually, I was thinking about this earlier. Personally, I'd find an
'Attach:' pseudo-header (as I use header editing) exceptionally useful.
ie, when writing an email, an 'Attach: ' header would be presented, and,
if filled in, or more added, each file referenced would be added as an
attachment. If anyone's interested in such a thing, drop me a line and
I'll write a patch; I'm currently between contracts and have a small
amount of time.

And the majority of mails don't have them. I'd probably turn it off or
just hit 'no' by default before my brain kicked in to stop me.
