Oh, you're right of course, I didn't even think about the significance
of the "compose" context. Hmph. Yeah, it looks like you may be stuck
macroing a secondary compose key for what you want (well, that or
manually editing the headers).
Assuming you're not worried about rogue attachments being added at
your end (but rather a compromised MTA along the way), you could be
SUPER motivated and write a wrapper for $sendmail that takes the
message, parses any attachment names out of it, adds the header with
formail, and _then_ sends it to sendmail or whatever for MTA-ing.
That's some pretty heavy kung fu but it might do what you want.
