Enhancement of pseudo Attach: header

[chrisbra]

Hi, this is my first bug report, so please be gentle ;)

As you know, you can attach files when editing messages, using the pseudo Attach: header. Unfortunally this header is not displayed, whenever you re-edit a message (e.g. when you edit a postponed a message). Therefor I have written the following patch, which will insert pseudo Attach: headers for each file, that is attached.

My C Skills are actually very limited since I have not used C for years, so I apologize for my code ;)

Well, the patch is not complete. It's missing the part about freeing all attachments first. I am thinking on how to do it correctly.

Ok, I think I have now a working version. The second patch was diffed against mutt-1.5.18.

Just to make sure what it does: When you have set edit_headers mutt will print pseudo Attach: header lines for each file that is attached to a message. This allows you to see what files are actually attached to your message when creating or re-editing the message. Additionally by deleting the Attach-headers, mutt will also delete the attachments. So it gives you control of your attachments when editing a message.

I think this is pretty convenient.

Do you think, this can be included into mutt? Any comments?
