| Yes, you can avoid using the -a flag multiple times, but only with the
| devel-tree version (1.5.x) of mutt. The stable mutt (1.4.x) doesn't
| have that feature. Here's the 1.5.x man page entry:
|
| -a file [...]
| Attach a file to your message using MIME. To attach multiple
| files, separating filenames and recipient addresses with "--"
| is mandatory, e.g. mutt -a img.jpg *.png -- addr1 addr2.
And if the 1.5 series isn't feasible for you I have a small shell script
that invokes mutt with multiple -a options from a list of filenames.
But the 1.5 series mutt is the better approach.
