EZ> Click the mouse on the Attachments->Attach File from the menu bar, or

But I want to use C-c C-a. I only want to use the mouse when the file
chooser appears. In fact I have the menu-bar and tool-bar both turned
off too.

In fact if there was a way for C-c C-a to be configured to call the
system file choooser, no mouse would be ever needed: TAB TAB TAB etc.
could navigate everywhere. So what we are seeing here is an uncrossable
accessibility canyon due to this little gap!
