The best way is to code it yourself. ;-)

Persuading the hackers might be hard, cause  1) they still aren't
running out of open tasks (yet) with higher priorities and  2) this
likely will violate RFCs. Right, IIRC changing an emails contents (which
attachments are) effectively makes it another email -- and therefore you
should not keep the same Message-Id, etc. ...

Besides this, not all mailer hackers could be persuaded with beer... ;-)


Just some notes, I don't wanna start a discussion / flame-war...
