actually, if you're planning on using ramfs, there's not much point,
as you can usually use the attachment directly (noting that upas/fs will
accept any file extension on "body").  at least that way you avoid
using up extra memory.

you can plumb the attachments directly too (just as long as upas/fs
was started before the plumber); mind you, it's a bit strange that you
can't right click on

	/mail/fs/mbox/23/1/body.gif

inside the mail message itself, but you can if you copy and paste that
text into somewhere else in acme.  i think that's because upas/fs is
interpreting b3 clicks itself, and being a little too clever about it.

  cheers,
    rog.

Changing  /acme/mail/src/mesg.c:938
			dest = egrow(estrdup(home), "/", dest);
to
			dest = egrow(estrdup("/tmp"), "/", dest);

provides what IMHO is a more convenient location to copy attachments.
When using ramfs, I just copy them and don't bother to delete those that
are not of interest. For those of interest I'd edit the cp.... line
anyway to provide a correct location.
