I guess the filename is needed for some programs.  Maybe some
programs look at the filename to decide what to do with it?

But Gnus could mangle the filename to be somewhat harmless.  For
example, it could replace spaces with underscores and ticks of all
kinds and sizes, too.  That would keep the extension intact which is
probably what those programs are looking at...
