        Forwarding specific attachments
         By Vikas Agnihotri @att.com 

        I might be missing something here but how do I forward just one
        attachment to another recipient. 
          
        For instance: I have a mail containing a text/plain, a
        application/msword and a image/gif attachment. 
          
        I want to forward the application/msword attachment to another
        recipient. 
          
        I set mime_forward, unset mime_forward_decode, went to the attachment
        menu and did a 'forward'.  Mutt
        created a message/rfc822 attachment 
        containing just the Word document. I didnt want this because it
        exposes too much details about where I got the
        attachment from, etc. What I wanted was just the Word document as a
        attachment.   
          
        i.e. the effect achieved by saving the attachment, composing the
        message and then doing a simple attach-file
        from the compose menu.  
        Thanks for any help, 
        Vikas 


unfortunately, i didn't find an answer to this anywhere.  does anyone
know of a way?  or are we stuck with doing it manually?  (e.g., first
saving, then composing, and finally attaching).

thanks,
