Dan, the version 8.0.13 is not as broken as it appears.  When I yank a
message with attachments, all the attachments appear in the composition
buffer.  I can even click on them and open them in external apps.
However, when I hit 'send', the attachments are stripped off before the
message is sent.  The message received at the other end has just empty
descriptive lines like:

xapplication/pdf, OctoberNewsletter20061.pdf       
[display attachment]

This is admittedly confusing and undesirable behaviour,  But it is
interesting to see that the attachments don't actually get sent.

Cheers,
Uday

Status in VM (View Mail) for Emacs: Fix Released

Bug description:
It seems this variable can be set so that replies do not include large attachments, such as pdf files.  But this does not appear in any .el file other than vm-vars.el, so is clearly not implemented.

I am running 8.0.13
