            Bug ID: 311179
          Severity: wishlist
           Version: 4.10 pre
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Rename "name" field to "filename"
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: pancho.mz at riseup.net
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
         Component: general
           Product: kmail2

In order to proliferate a standards-conform use of headers the corresponding
fields should be renamed to "filename":
- in the attachment's properties dialog
- in composer's attachments listing


Reproducible: Always




For named MIME-parts, the use of the "filename" parameter within the
Content-Disposition header is strongly preferred to a non-standard "name"
parameter within the Content-Type header. The latter is only an optional
redundancy in order to be compatible with older systems that don't adhere to
the RFCs. (See: http://www.imc.org/ietf-smtp/mail-archive/msg05023.html)
