i saw them fly by -- i was hoping you've found some other handy
features of xset, and being a fresh discovery for you, you might
be able to present it in a way that next month's newbies might
find handy.

as for attaching messages -- it's similar to attaching files.
when done editing your message, you're at mutt's COMPOSE stage:
'a' to attach a file
'A' to attach a message
you can select which mailbox to use, and then
you'll need to TAG the messages (type 't') you
want to attach; 'q'uit to get back to composing
'D' to DELETE an attachment from your message
(by the way -- i just found this, myself, by typing '?' at
various stages of interaction with mutt. pretty cool.)
