There is message_create_attachment() function in mailutils
but it can't attach file in existing message(message_t type).
(Actually I don't know how to do it. =)
and it seems there're no functions "removing" attach file in the message.

IMHO, it should be added the functions about attach file.
I.E, message_add_attachment(), message_remove_attachment() is needed.

What do you think?
