One option is using gnus-dired-mode, which comes with gnus. This way you can mark files in dired, then call `gnus-dired-attach', and they'll be attached either to a new message or an existing method. It's sort of "backwards" (works from dired, not from within a message) compared to what you're asking for, but it's probably the simplest solution... Hope that's useful, Eric
