RMS has suggested adding simple attachment functionality to mail-mode,
e.g. via etach.  I haven't had time to look at the code of etach, but I
suspect that all this will accomplish is an incremental and incomplete
extension of mail-mode's feature set---not enough to catch up with
message-mode, but adding more code duplication.
