I tried this and saw Ange-FTP connect, but it didn't slurp the file
into the message (and it should not for *external* body part).

Any suggestions on how to enter that? I tried that (e.g.,
ftp://ftp.gnus.org/foo.txt) but mml-attach-external said "no such
file". It appears to only want a Ange-FTP:

    (mml-attach-external FILE &optional TYPE DESCRIPTION)
    Attach an external file into the buffer.
    FILE is an ange-ftp/efs specification of the part location.

What's an "efs" specification? Any suggestion on how to specify a URL
to attach?

Thanks.
