Apple Mail's search feature is failing me - did we ever reach a  
conclusion on supporting attach -e?  IIRC, the most important feature  
was being able to attach RW volumes, which was primarily used by alexp.

I don't much care whether we accomplish this via attach -e or some  
other method, but I think we should decide whether we're still going  
to support this or not, and where in the project plan it falls.

I believe this is the only feature of attach left to implement or  
desupport, right?  I don't really care about the ability to attach  
arbitrary NFS directories via attach (attach -e small-gods:/redhat),  
unless other people think it's useful.
