I won't be changing any of this before I completely replace the way non-inlined attachments are displayed (a proper non-HTML table view with columns which can optionally be put at the top/bottom of the message).
Eudora on the Mac had problems with attachments (mostly because it used inode numbers to keep track of them, so anytime a disk was restored from backup or cloned to a new machine, attachments were lost). But there were two things it did that I found quite handy: there was a table of contents column that indicated if a message had attachments or not. A simple flag, but very nice when looking for a message where someone sent me something. The other thing it did was if you clicked on that column of a message with one or more attachments, it popped up a context menu listing them; clicking on one opened it. This was in addition to the usual display within a message view. Both of these features were really useful, and I'd like to suggest that you at least consider adding something along these lines when you re-do attachments.
The other thing I'd like to suggest is a way to drag an attachment from one draft to another. Or, an option so that if the front-most window happens to be a draft message and I ask an external program to send something via MM, have it go into that draft instead of a new one. (If the front-most window isn't a draft, but anything else. have it go into a new draft as currently.) I find myself often with a draft about ready to send but I need to attach something that's currently a view in another program. I could print to PDF and save that to /tmp and then use MM to navigate to and attach it, but it'd be much easier if I could instead tell the program to share via MM and have it go into the draft I'm working on, or let me drag from the draft it ends up in to the one I want it in.
