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.

Bug#941214: Completion for mutt's -a command line switch

[martin f krafft]

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,
