+If a
+.I header-field-name
+is supplied using the
+.B -attach
+option, the draft is scanned for a header whose field name matches the
+supplied
+.IR header-field-name .
+The draft is converted to a MIME message if one or more matches are found.
+This conversion occurs before all other processing.
+.PP
+The first part of the MIME message is the draft body if that body contains
+any non-blank characters.
+The body of each header field whose name matches the
+.I header-field-name
+is interpreted as a file name, and each file named is included as a separate
+part in the MIME message.
+.PP
+For file names with dot suffixes, the context is scanned for a
+.I mhshow-suffix-
+entry for that suffix.
+The content-type for the part is taken from that context entry if a match is
+found.
+If no match is found or the file does not have a dot suffix, the content-type
+is text/plain if the file contains only ASCII characters or application/octet-stream
+if it contains characters outside of the ASCII range.
+.PP
+Each part contains a name attribute that is the last component of the path name.
+A
+.I x-unix-mode
+attribute containing the file mode accompanies each part.
+Finally, a description attribute is generated by running the
+.I file
+command on the file.
+.PP
+The
+.B -attachformat
+option specifies the MIME header field formats:  a value of
+.B 0,
+the default,
+includes the
+.I x-unix-mode
+attribute as noted above.  A value of
+.B 1
+suppresses both that and the \*(lqContent-Description\*(rq header, and
+adds a \*(lqContent-Disposition\*(rq header.  A value of
+.B 2
+adds the file
+.I modification-date
+parameter to the \*(lqContent-Disposition\*(rq header.  You can
+specify one value in your profile, and override it for individual
