Can you duplicate the issue?

I see where the check takes place: in compose.c check_attachments(), 
where it compares the the mtime of each attachment with Mutt's internal 
record before sending.  That's called in OP_COMPOSE_SEND_MESSAGE.

Somehow, the file's mtime was modified, but mutt's internal stamp was 
not updated.  I don't think I've touched anything about that recently, 
but it would be helpful if you can repeat the problem.

Thank you!
