Just had a look. If you actually make an attachment, then the option will come up just below to add more attachments - and more - and more. You can't see this option unless you add the first one.

Without experimenting to confirm, there was talk that the 'more than one' attachment facility only applied to the first contact message.

Only one at a time can be sent after that.

Yes - that's right.

As we've never sent each other messages, I pretended to PM you and was able to attach 3 documents - might have been able to attach more, but cancelled the PM

Selecting one of the previous messages in my in-box as if to reply to them, only one document could be attached.

Its possible to attach more than one **docs to a 'new' message rather than as part of a conversation

**(Doc/Jpeg or what ever)
