With a quad-option (defaulting to ask-yes?). The option (I can't think of a good name... forward-includes-attachments is too long), when set, would make the ordinary forward action act as if all attachments had been tagged, i.e. when you forward then all attachments are forwarded with it. When it isn't set then mutt exhibits the current (unintuitive?) behavior. I would consider it much more intuitive if forwarding a message forwarded everything sent to me in that message, not just the text, but given that that was not what was programmed in the first place I can only assume that there was some demand to have forwarding only forward the message body. I would, in fact, be just as happy if there were no quad-option and the default behavior was just to forward all attachments. Those who wanted only specific attachments could either delete the unnecessary ones in the compose screen or use the tag attachments tag-forward thing that is currently required to forward all attachments. I think either solution is better (easier and more intuitive) than the current situation. } Sven --Greg
