[VM] including original attachments when replying to a message

[Uday Reddy]

Hello, when I reply to a message, I sometime add new recipients and would like to also send then attachments included in the original message. to do this I save those attachment as files, and then re-attach them to the reply. is there a simpler way to do this? vm-mime-attach-attachments-from-original-mail? I could just forward the original message, but this doesn't allow using features available in a reply mode (responding in the middle of the quoted text, for example). cheers, E

If you use mouse-3 on the original attachment, you will find a menu item
called "attach to composition". Or, a simple `$a' will do.

Cheers,
Uday

If you do this all the time, then you could also set the option variable
`vm-include-mime-attachments'. Then the usual `C-c C-y' will include
attachments as well as text.

Please be careful with it. It is a new feature and I don't think it has
received enough testing from users.
