Subject: `name' parameter for MIME attachments?
Date: 07 Sep 1999 13:30:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <vaf671n9cwu.fsf@lucy.cs.uni-dortmund.de> (raw)
When doing a MIME attachment with Gnus, the following MIME headers are
generated:
Content-Type: application/postscript
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=foo.ps
When doing a MIME attachment with the Solaris CDE tool dtmail, the
following header is generated:
Content-Type: application/postscript; name="foo.ps"
Apparently, dtmail uses this `name' parameter as a default file name
to save in.
WIBNI Gnus would generate this parameter automatically? I suggest that
the default value be the basename of the file. I'm not sure whether
the parameter should just be generated silently or whether the user
should be asked for its value, defaulting to the basename of the
`filename' parameter.
(I know that it works to add a "name=foo.ps" part to the MML that is
generated by C-c C-a. But I think that it would be nice if one didn't
have to do this manually.)
tia,
kai
