If we're actually going to revisit this in -dev, I'll reiterate my
suggestion from back then:
mutt -a { *.jpg } $RECIPIENT
I don't think that needing to attach files named '{' or '}' from the
command line is a very common problem. But I also don't think that
what we have is such a problem that it must be changed, so long as it's
properly documented in usage and the manual.
