Well, as I said, I have chosen Gnus because it is part of GNU Emacs. In
any case, if anyone wants to write a patch with a more general solution,
I'd encourage them. I think that would be an interesting feature for
org-attach. I only use Gnus and unfortunately I'm not familiar with
other mail reader libraries (I could try to do something more "agnostic"
from message-mode, when I have some more time...).

What I don't quite understand is why it wouldn't be appropriate to add a
new entry with the new feature to the org-attach menu.

Best regards,
