 I agree. Karsten had the view that all attachments should be shown inline
which can be seen in the message viewer (all attachments were shown inline
earlier, although now they appear as icons if their disposition ==
attachemnt -- but still at the place where they occur, so it's kind of half
inline still) and in this decision to always send outgoing attachments with
inline disposition. I don't really agree with this point of view though.

 I'll do it before the next snapshot.

 Yes, it should simply give access to the same dialog.

 Thanks,
