Maybe you or one of the other developers have time to have a look on my
extension.

I personally like the solution from Thomas in
https://github.com/bestpractical/rt/commit/ea61a55 which is integrated
with some small changes in my extension.

If it is here an problem, isn't it also a problem with the attachments
widget on Ticket/Display.html?

My current idea is to place the widget with the attachments after the
message widget and before the submit button. The widget will be by
default rolled up, as the 'Scrips and Recipients' widget if you have
set SimplifiedRecipients to true in RT_SiteConfig.pm.
Sadly the necessary callback is missing but I just send an pull request:
https://github.com/bestpractical/rt/pull/65

After the 4.2 release may you have time to give some feedback on my
extension so I can send a pull request to integrate this one in 4.4.

Thanks for the note. I missed this new posts (mainly because of my
vacation). But on an dev box I have the master branch installed to take
a look on RT 4.2 and I'm looking forward to the new release. Great work.
Thanks!
