Hrmmm...  "[S]omewhat" related, indeed.  You've *almost* changed topics

I don't know how to make mutt do that, but that's immaterial; this can
easily be handled by your incoming mail filter (such as procmail), with
the location of the detached files either in the message (mangling --
ugh) or in the headers (much better).  Give the man pages for procmail
and formail a whirl (or wait for the inevitable deluge of messages touting
anything other the procmail and take your pick of the suggestions).
