[Alpine-info] Attach mails

[Olaf Skibbe via Alpine-info]

Hi all,

I have a question regarding the possibilities to attach mails to a
newly composed mail.

Assume the following situation: I have several mails stored locally in
different folders. I want to compose a mail with some of these mails
attached to it. Preferably, I want them to be attached in their
original form, not cited inline.

The way I do this now, is:

- Store all these mails to one (temporary) folder
- change to the new folder and select the mails I want to attach
   (i.e. "select all")
- press A - F to forward these mails with a new mail (where the
   selected mails are attached as mail digest).

Disadvantages of this process are:

- When saving the mails to the new temporary folder, they are marked
   as deleted at their original place. One has to take care of this.
- Once I started composing the mail and decide to attach one more
   mail, I have to start all over.

This rises the question: Is there a way to do this in a more
convenient way? What I am looking for is something like:

- Start composing a mail
- moving the cursor to the "Attachments" line
- having an option to select mails to be attached, like ^T for files.

I have no idea if this is possible (or can be made possible), but I
would consider this a very nice and convenient feature.

Any ideas?
Olaf
