Hey,
mutt allows attaching files from the command-line:
```
mutt -a /file/one /file/two /file/three -- …
```
Basically, the rules are: `-a` takes a list of files, terminated by
`--`.
Zsh's completion of mutt treats the argument to `-a` as optional:
```
'*-a[attach file using MIME]::file attachment:_files' \
```
Therefore, after `-a`, mutt's completions include recipients, which
is not correct:
```
albatross:~% mutt -a toni^D
directory
toni/
recipient
toni@…
```
Could you please help me figure out how to fix this? Basically after
it sees `-a`, compsys should be offering `_files` until `--` is
encountered, and also: at least one file is mandatory.
Thanks,
--

In theory, this should be possible with:
'*-a[attach file using MIME]:*--:file attachment:_files' \
However, _mutt also calls _arguments with -S so if it sees -- it takes
that as the end of all options and only completes recipients
thereafter.
