Right.  I wasn't wild about it for that reason, too.  But I couldn't 
think of anything better and if nothing else, I thought it might 
stimulate someone else to come up with a better idea.

I expressed my idea incompletely.  What I meant was:

    If -a is followed by any other token beginning with -, all 
    tokens between -a and that '-'-token are taken to be 
    attachments.
    If -a is not followed by any other token beginning with -, the 
    first token following -a is taken to be an attachment and all 
    subsequent tokens are taken to be recipients.

Gary
