+Attachments are very easy to send using the Apprise API:

+
+# Create an Apprise instance
+apobj = apprise.Apprise()
+
+# Add at least one service you want to notify
+apobj.add('mailto://myuser:mypass@hotmail.com')

+)
+
+# Send a web based attachment too! In the below example, we connect to a home
+# security camera and send a live image to an email. By default remote web
+# content is cached but for a security camera, we might want to call notify
+# again later in our code so we want our last image retrieved to expire(in
+# this case after 3 seconds).
+apobj.notify(
+    title='Latest security image',
+    attach='http:/admin:password@hikvision-cam01/ISAPI/Streaming/channels/101/picture?cache=3'

+# To send more than one attachment, you just need another object:
+from apprise import AppriseAttachment
+
+# Initialize our attachment object
+aa = AppriseAttachment()
+
+# Now add all of the entries we're intrested in:

-# to create a new incoming webhook for your account. You'll need to

+# There are 2 ways to use this plugin...
+# Method 1: Via Webhook:
+#   Visit https://my.slack.com/services/new/incoming-webhook/
+#   to create a new incoming webhook for your account. You'll need to
+#   follow the wizard to pre-determine the channel(s) you want your

 #
+# Method 2: Via a Bot:
+#   1. visit: https://api.slack.com/apps?new_app=1
+#   2. Pick an App Name (such as Apprise) and select your workspace.  Then
+#       press 'Create App'
+#   3. You'll be able to click on 'Bots' from here where you can then choose
+#       to add a 'Bot User'.  Give it a name and choose 'Add Bot User'.
+#   4. Now you can choose 'Install App' to which you can choose 'Install App
+#       to Workspace'.
+#   5. You will need to authorize the app which you get promopted to do.
+#   6. Finally you'll get some important information providing you your
+#      'OAuth Access Token' and 'Bot User OAuth Access Token' such as:

File Attachment Support
:bulb: **The Idea**

To add file attachment support to Apprise.

1. Adding a new **AppriseAttachment()** class:
   1. Must be smart enough to retrieve the attachment (if found remotely) for posting purposes.
   1. External content is written to a temporary location (for attachment purposes) but removed once the action has completed. Locally referenced content is never removed and Apprise only requires read permission to it.
   1. accepts URL (defaults to local storage reference); eg:
     - `https://github.github.com/training-kit/downloads/github-git-cheat-sheet.pdf` would haul the PDF down so that it can be attached.
     - `file:///absolute/path/to/file` would attach the file specified.
     - `/path/to/file`: just like how configuration files work, if you don't specify a URL, it defaults to a `file://` reference.
1. Adding **--attach** (**-a**) switch to the CLI.  There would be no limits to the number of attachments `--attach` (`-a`) arguments you could specify. However it is up to the end user to consider their notification services receiving this payload.
1. There would have to be a configurable limit to the size of the attachment. The default limitations would be put forth by the Notification plugin/service itself. The user would be allowed to over-ride this limit if they wish.
1. Services that can't handle binary/secondary payloads will silently ignore the option; this will be the default option for all services until support can be added to each individually.
1. Service integration of attachments would work as follows:
   1. Attempt to pass all of the attachments per message if possible (Email for example works great here).
   1. Attempt to post the title/message inline with the first attachment.  Additional attachments (if any) will follow (but will not include message).  this works great for things like Twitter, Slack, MSTeams, MMS messages etc
   1. Attempt to send the attachments one after another, but only after the body is sent
   1. Ignore the attachments as they just aren't supported.

A Python example of how attachments could work:
```python
import apprise

# Create an Apprise instance
apobj = apprise.Apprise()

# Create an Attachment instance
attach = apprise.AppriseAttachment()

# Add attachments (in this case we add 2):
attach.add('http://hostname/path/to/content')
attach.add('/local/path/to/file')

# Add our URL:
apobj.add('mailto://myuser:mypass@hotmail.com')

# Attachments would be passed through the notify() call:
apobj.notify(
    body='what a great notification service!',
    title='my notification title',
    attach=attach,
)
```

A CLI Attachment example might look like:
```bash
apprise -t 'FooBar just crashed' -b 'see attached' \
	--attach=/path/to/foobar/trace.tgz \
	--attach=/path/to/foobar/logs.tgz \
```

**Caveats**
The following needs to be thought through a bit more to consider this feature:
- Should Apprise be smart enough to figure out the mime type and allow notification services to further handle the content.  Hence some services provide a much richer experience if you pass it images one way and binary content (such as PDF files) another.
  * ~~Potentially use [Python Magic](https://github.com/ahupp/python-magic) which hasn't been touched in a year and has 30+ open bugs.  Compatible with Microsoft?~~. Use **mimetypes** as it's built in with Python [v2](https://docs.python.org/2/library/mimetypes.html) and [v3](https://docs.python.org/3/library/mimetypes.html).
- SMS becomes a MMS message instead when an attachments exist.  Depending on the carrier or notification service, anything that isn't a GIF, JPG, or PNG will likely get removed and not be passed along. One MMS message per attachment will be required in this case as well.
- Some services can only reference content if passed by a URL (and hosted elsewhere).  Should Apprise know the difference and post content to public location so that it can be referenced?  I'd presume no here? For images only?

:hammer: **Breaking Feature**
This should be relatively straight forward to implement without breaking any existing logic.
