Looking at this again we would want:

- It must be possible to attach multiple files to a forum post and thus
be available for download by everyone who has access to the forum post.

- It must be possible that the user can attach existing files from any
area in Mahara (personal, groups, institution and site) as long as the
user attaching the file has the permission to use them.

- The user can decide to upload a file from their computer to either
their personal files or to the group's files if I am a member.

- When a file is attached to a forum post and the file is not from that
group's file area, it stays in its original place and is not copied into
the group's file area.

- If a file is deleted from its original location, a popup is displayed
that lets the person know that the file is used in a forum post and
whether they want to continue. If they do continue, the file will not be
available anymore on the forum post.

- If a forum post is edited, an already attached file can be deleted,
but it is not possible to attach a new file if the notification has
already gone out to the forum subscribers.

- The email notification should mention that a file / multiple files are
attached with links to the files.
