Yeah, Mystic doesn't support file attaches. It might at some point but not today.

If you did attach a file for a mystic BBS it would end up in the inbound at that BBS. If you were the sysop of that board that would not be a problem, you can just grab the file there.

If it is for a user of a mystic board the sysop would have to make those files available to the user somehow, in a filebase directory perhaps.
