Hello,

would you mind to enhance the mml-attach-file command so that it doesn't
ask interactively for Type, Description and Disposition?  I'm mostly
happy with your defaults for them and it is becoming annoying to type,
especially for multiple attachments, RET RET RET all the time.

What do you think of an optional prefix argument of C-c C-a for
triggering the queries?  Or making two distinct commands: C-c C-a and
C-c RET f where the latter is querying by default and the former not?

It might also be helpful if the disposition could be guessed somehow.
For example for well know image file suffixes as inline MIME.

Thank you for Gnus

      Dieter
