A common complaint is that dealing with a lot of attachments is cumbersome.
His solution was to put "direct" links to the attachments, as represented on
the disk.  Then, you could quickly paste the filenames into a konsole, and
mv, cp, whatever, them.  At least, that's my take.  However, doesn't KMail in
head use the mimetree thingy, that would basically do the same thing? Dunno,
as I'm not running it...
