AFAIU the same index entry cannot point both to "Saving Articles" and
"MIME" because "Emacs-MIME" is a separate manual.  So we can have two
"@cindex attachments" but it won't really be the same... and `i' in one
of the two manuals will just jump to the entries defined in *this*
manual.

Yes.  I think a simple "@cindex attachment" in the "Saving Articles"
section would already be an improvement.
