This would seem the most logical solution to me.  Either that, or do
the globbing from mutt and specify mutt -a '*.png' me@xxxxx you@xxxxx
or so.  Right now I don't see any other ways that would be nicer or
easier. 

I don't think globbing necessarily has to be done by the shell if
there is a good reason to do it from the program itself.  However, I
have run into problems before where the C "glob" function didn't
expand across symbolic links to directories, even though the shell
would.  Using the shell might be more robust.

Kind regards,
