I've seen this message before, in circumstances where it was true that
a file had been modified after it had been attached, and before the
e-mail had been sent.

I just reproduced this with:

1. `touch foo`;

2. within Mutt: attach `foo`;

3. `touch foo`;

4. within Mutt: send.

→ "Attachment #2 modified. Update encoding for /tmp/foo? ([yes]/no): "


But Vincent's case is different; it is about the "attachment" that
constitutes the body of the message. If I go and use `touch` on that
file, I get the "Attachment #1 modified" prompt when attempting to
send.

Perhaps some background process on his system touched the file that
backs the attachment just before sending? This is probably difficult
to investigate after the fact.
