This patch adds what you need: https://bitbucket.org/dgc/mutt-dgc/raw/42d6f8d629ad3f0ceb7f4790013d3cec665d0df6/dgc.groupalts The <group-alternatives> binding for the componse menu (where you press 's' to send) combines selected attachments into a multipart/alternative group. The <move-up> and <move-down> bindings then allow you to change their order. > > There exists some post send filter to achieve this but they do not work in > combination with encryption (and I do not have the sent copy in my archive) > > Another idea: Is it possible to put the complete message to a tool from the > compose screen (which can parse and change it completely) and re-read it > afterwards? I thinks is would allow a lot of other feature too. I don't know offhand how you would generate the content. MIME is not that hard to write if you know the structure, but I don't know a tool off the top of my head that will generate it for you. However, if you have one: a trick I have used for things of this flavor is to: * postpone the message * open your postponed folder as a regular mutt mailbox * find the postponed message * edit the raw mesage * save * sync * go back to your regular mutt session * recall the postponed message * finish and send (It's not as hard as it looks on paper. Usually I do this when I find I've written a trmendously long message and I want to split it into two messages. In that case, after editing the message I exit without syncing in order to preserve both copies of the original, then I recall and send each copy.) -- David Champion • d...@bikeshed.us
