It's not part of enter_bug (this is an oft-requested feature, a bug 
exists for it on bugzilla.mozilla.org filed against bugzilla. it's 
being discussed for bugzilla 2.18) right now.
It is part of the interface once the bug is created.
create bug -> click to go to created bug (or does it bring you to the 
new bug automatically. I always forget) -> click "create attachment"


The email-interface was an afterthought (and except for the "appending 
to already existing bugs script"), is an incredibly huge kludge that 
merges the mess of gnatsweb, and the mess of gnats2bz.pl, into a mess 
that handles gccbug reports.
The fact that it works at all is a miracle, and the fact that it 
handles attachments is because i had added code to gnats2bz.pl to do 
so, and it just happened to work right when it processes regular emails 
too.
