That's the cause, I think: if the -attach isn't in your .mh_profile,
the later detach won't see it.

detach doesn't complain about other things, such as deleting
an attachment that doesn't exist. That probably should be
fixed.

The recommended (docs/README-ATTACHMENTS) setup is to put this
in your .mh_profile:
send: -attach X-MH-Attachment
whatnow: -attach X-MH-Attachment
Then your detach would work. Alternatively, you could "detach -n 1".
