that's not true. Nmh-Attachment headers can be inserted manually as
well, bypassing that "attach" error check.
but i now see that i mis-parsed ken's original description. if i
add some [clarification edits], does it still mean what ken meant
to begin with?
- send runs "mhbuild -auto -nodirectives". "-auto" means, "don't
error out if there's a MIME-Version header, just don't process
the draft" [including any Nmh-Attachment headers]. "-nodirectives"
means "don't process directives". But ... [ even with -nodirectives, ]
Nmh-Attachment headers are still processed.
