Typically, I simply save each attachment locally, and then include it, which seems unnecessary and so I suspect that it is possible to directly add an attachment from an email in one of my mail-folders.

You can select the attachments you want from one source message, 
then reply (r) or forward (f) and mutt will ask whether to attach 
them to the new message.

Or you can automate the process you describe above using a 
macro. :-) Then you can use it multiple times on all the 
attachments you need from arbitrary messages to attach them to 
the new message (which can stay postponed waiting for attachments).

HTH.
