Changing the subject line here. I have to admit that it's getting a bit hard for me to follow all of the variations on mime message formats that people want because it's not something that has ever been an issue for me. The automatically generated stuff has worked for everybody to whom I send stuff.
I would like to suggest that we leave the send/whatnow -attach option alone. Adding additional mhbuild options such as the one for content-disposition is fine. New features should be added in the manner that I suggested earlier in the -forward option email. I take this position because it's important to me that the attachment handling code user interface remain simple. I added that code because I wanted a user interface that was simple to use, and don't want to break that. There is a problem with adding dash options and mhbuild directives and other stuff to the existing code, which is that I routinely see and have to work with files whose names are not unix-friendly. Names that include spaces, quotes, and even dashes. Worse, dashes that follow spaces. So any sort of dash option thing would break the existing code. Sure, you could add quoting and escaping and all that stuff, but then it's no longer simple and easy to use. Another way of putting it is that I'd rather see new features added in such a way that someone using the existing user interface is not affected.
