Jim answers:
My header is labeled "x-attachments" (ala "Subject", "CC"),
and that header can indeed be set via AppleScript.  Looks good so far.
It is only the actual sending/receiving of the message that shows a problem.
The OUT box shows the new message to have an attachment icon, so all
appears correct.
As a result, I thought this header definition should work, but not so.

Sander's solution DOES  work.
