But how do you store international names in it?

This is how Oort Gnus attach file which name is ěščřžýáíé.txt:

 Content-Disposition: attachment;
   filename*=iso-8859-2''%ec%b9%e8%f8%be%fd%e1%ed%e9.txt

This is displayed as text/plain;
iso-8859-2''%ec%b9%e8%f8%be%fd%e1%ed%e9.txt in the Gnus from CVS and
correctly displayed in Oort.

This is bad (for 21).

Gnus 5.9.0 do attach it as:

 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=ěščřžýáíé.txt

When I try to save the mail with this in it, it is saved (from Oort and
also from 5.9.0) with magic \202 before each iso-8859-2 letter in it. This
is bad too :-(

I do not know though, which one is the correct behavior. What is the clean
way of attaching the file, whose name is ěščřžýáíé.txt and how to do that
with either Oort Gnus or Gnus from Emacs 21?

I'd be happy to test everything you suggest.

Sounds like a "bug waiting to be implemented" ;)
