after a tiny bit of going googling and looking at the mailman configu, i 
found that this is actually very simple, and only requires me to enable 
it with a single click.

the attachments would be inlined at the end of the emails like the 
following:

which would of course require a bit of thinking on the downloader's 
side: any mailclient/browser would try to download the file as 
"attachment.bin" and they would have to rename it manually to "uDMX.dll" 
(or whatever the "Name" really is)

i haven't found a way to enable this for certain mime-types only (or 
disable it for e.g. text/*)
so for Pd-patches i get depending on the senders mime-settings:

or something else.




but then i really think it is not such a bad idea to enable this feature.
any other opinions?
