what does the leading - mean in the attachment view?

[Yubin Ruan]

Hi,

Just out of curious: in the attachment view (of the compose view), there are
some attachments with a - before them:

-----------------------------------------------------------
- I 1 /path/to/file1 [text/plain, 7 bit, us-ascii, 13]
- A 1 /path/to/file2 [text/plain, 7 bit, us-ascii, 13]

what does that - mean?

It's the %u in $attach_format. It will show '-' if the attachment will
be unlinked after sending. This is usually the case for tempfiles.

If you invoke 'G' <get-attachment>, it converts an attachment to a
tempfile and sets the unlink flag.

'u' <toggle-unlink> toggles the state of the flag. Use with extreme
caution on non-tempfiles.
