There are a number of errors in that package documentation mentioning 
features not (or no longer) implemented; the --help is more accurate; 
believe and use what works:

	"This option can be used multiple times to add multiple files to attach."

BTW: it uses getopt_long_only(3) [man-pages-linux package] which allows 
single dash or double dash long option names as well as single dash 
short option characters.
