Well, if you need to do that, you should probably do them one at a time
just as you do now.  I'm looking for a quick shortcut; I don't want to
have to respond to a "Do you want to change the name of xxxxx.xxx?" dialog
10 times.

On the other hand, I could see a "manage attachments" dialog with a
multicolumn grid: first column is a checkbox to select/deselect the
attachment, second column is the attachment name in the e-mail, third
column is the destination file name and is editable.  Add an edit box and
browse button to specify the destination directory, and that would be
pretty cool.

What's the point?  Does PMMail actually run on any 8.3-only systems?
