Right:

    What now? ls *.txt
    bar.txt  baz.txt  foo.txt

    What now? at *.txt

    What now? li
    To: 
    Attach: /tmp/bar.txt
    Attach: /tmp/baz.txt
    Attach: /tmp/foo.txt

Paul, is there really a need to support shell globbing of Attach:
pseudoheaders?

And let me note that the whatnow command is passed through the user's
shell.  I rely on bash-isms, e.g., "at foo{4..7}.pdf", all the time.

There already is an al(ist):

    What now? alist
    bar.txt
    baz.txt
    foo.txt

And you can also view (and edit) the message after running mhbuild
("mime" at the whatnow prompt) on it.
