Subject: File references

At our site, everybody has access to pretty much the same file system so 
it would actually be preferable to use 

	Content-type: message/external-body; access-type=local-file

over actually attaching the file.  I'd like to be able to specify that a
file is either attached or referenced under user control and also be able
to set the default at our site to use references instead of attachments 
as it does at present.  (Of course, it would be nice if this default 
depended on wether or not there were off-site addresses in the to list, 
but that's hard to do reliably due to mailing lists, etc.)

Chris,

We plan to add support for message/external-body in a future release of 
Pine.  Thanks for the suggestion!
