There is an updated pull request by rakoo against master on the mblaze repository

https://github.com/rakoo/mblaze master
https://github.com/leahneukirchen/mblaze/pull/234

Improve attachments handling
I had to manually explore to understand how to add attachments, the man page was a bit evasive. It also didn't help that a `~` at the beginning of the path isn't caught, so I added the same treatment as outbox parsing.

Thanks for this fantastic piece of software, the joys of building one's own MUA in ~150 lines of shell scripts...

A patch file from https://github.com/leahneukirchen/mblaze/pull/234.patch is attached
