Wrong way to approach it. What if exmh (which uses nmh under the covers) wants to add 3 attachments to a note - one an image/jpg called 'fallout.jpg', an Excel spreadsheet called 'estimates.xls', and a Word document called 'coverstory.doc'? You *really* need to be able to specify the name, the mime-type, and possibly the mime-encoding of the attachment on a per-attachment basis. If you don't specify mime-encoding, it must be intuited by looking at the mime-type (it's pointless to use anything other than base64 for an image/jpg, for instance), and possibly having to scan the attachment (a text/plain should be defaulted to no encoding if it's ascii, but will need quoted-printable if it contains the occasional non-ascii Latin chars, and may benefit from base64 if it's entirely in one of various non-Latin charsets).
