Thanks for explaining this one, Alexey! I have been waiting for this quite 
some time.

This only seems to work in versions higher than 4.58. But it is a great 
improvement. Thanks for pointing it out!

One addition for PC-Pine users: you can simply select multiple files in 
the Explorer and then drag them over to the compose screen. Usually they 
become listed in the "Attachment" header section. Once in a while though 
(dont ask me when), some of the files become expanded into the body of 
the composed message as plain text. This has hapend to me for a few PDF 
files recently and destroyed the whole message. When I have the time, I 
will try to regenerate this behavior.

Best regards, and thanks again, Alexey,
Stefan
