There is no plan (yet). I was just trying to estimate the effort needed for adding simple attachment facility to mail-mode. Plans, if there will be such, will come later. > Do we want to address the duplication between mail-mode and message-mode > or not? I don't know about ``we'', but _I_ don't. I simply don't have enough time for such cleanups, and don't think I know enough about Gnus and message-mode to be a good candidate for the job anyway. > Isn't this duplication a bad thing? Probably, but we have lived with that since when Gnus was merged with Emacs. > Is adding layers and layers of poorly integrated leaky bandaids to > mail-mode really the path we want to follow? I have no idea why you thought I was about to add ``leaky bandaids''. I didn't even say I'm going to write any code, let alone ``leaky''. And I don't think I ever added to Emacs such low-quality code that would justify you making such assumptions, should I decide to write some code.
