It's just that when I hear the word "customize", I ask the question:
"If you want to customize your MIME content, why aren't you just adding
a mhbuild directive to your draft?"  What are you customizing, exactly?

Also, the semantics behind:

Nmh-Attachment: foo.pdf

are clear to me as a casual user.

The semantics behind:

Nmh-Attachment: #application/pdf {attachment} foo.pdf

are less clear to me and requires me to parse the BNF in the mhbuild
man page.  Also, more to get wrong!  The only reason I want an
Nmh-Attachment header to cause a failure is from being unable to read
the file.
