[IMP 2.2.5] How to export a variable on mailbox.php3 in order to see it also on compose.php3

[Santiago Romero]

 Hi...

 I need some users not to be able to add attachments to messages...
 As my qmail authenticates agains an Netscape LDAP directory server,
 I've added a LDAP field that indicates if that user can or can't 
 attach files to the messages...

 I've modified mailbox.php3 to check the LDAP server using $imp->user
 as the UID to retrieve the LDAP field, and I assing it (true/false)
 to a variable called $user_can_use_attachs.

 I later changed templates/compose/compose.inc and added a:

 if( $user_can_use_attachs == true )
 {
   // here is all the code that shows on the screen the
   // attachment buttons (the entire <tr> and </tr>)
 }

 My problem is that I need that variable to be seen on compose.inc.
 As it's defined on mailbox.php3, compose.inc can't see it...
 Where or how should I define it in order to be a global IMP variable?

 Thanks a lot for any help.
