 I've committed these with a few changes and a little testing.

 I rejected the change to 5 digits - there's no good reason to have all
that padding for small numbers, and anyway the code is part of the else
to this if stmt which limits the number of attachments:
			    if (att_counter > 99)
				binname = NULL;
			    else {

 I altered the mailcommand changes to make them more understandable and
to insure that they only affect sites that choose to use them. There
are now 3 related mailto configuration options:
 mailcommand - works as original mailcommand unless replymsg_command specified
 replymsg_command - used for sending a reply to the list; if not specified,
    is set to the value in mailcommand for compatibility with old .hmrc's
 newmsg_command - used for sending a new message to the list
