To me, the big advantage was simplifying that decision
logic that you presented.  It just seems more complex
than necessary.

The ability to review/edit mhbuild output is a bonus,
but not a primary goal for me.  Another bonus would be
to move error checking up:  instead of send(1) tripping
over a nonexistant file, whatnow(1) would.  That's not of
much value to me because I always ls before attach'ing,
so again it minor to me.

I have no problem putting parameters in pseudo-headers
rather than directives in the body, if that's where
you're headed.
