Yes, but that's effectively what I have reverted to :-). As I want to use the same filename for different files I needed to create directories, though. > I'm curious: What kind of files do you want to fake their names? My current trigger were CVs; I usually emphasize some as- pects more than others depending on the recipient, and I don't want to name them in an obvious way. Another use case I can think of is automagically include versioning information in filenames. I. e., if I attach source code A twice as in commit X and Y, use filenames A-X and A-Y so that the recipient doesn't have to discern be- tween "this A" and "that A". I think for a lasting solution I'll revamp MML to accept pa- rameters fake-filename & Co. Tim
