--- Comment #7 from Bernd Oliver Sünderhauf <pancho.mz at riseup.net> ---
"filename" is the RFC-standard attribute, according to the IETF (see
http://www.imc.org/ietf-smtp/mail-archive/msg05023.html).
The "name" attribute isn't RFC-standard (and has been only erroneously for some
limited time). Mostly it is only result of a wrong but widespread
implementation, so for compatibility it is still recommended to be sent as a
redundancy, but shouldn't take precedence when receiving a message.
(This is potentially security-relevant. Still I'm aware and sorry that these
are nit-picking details compared to the "real", the major bugs that are still
waiting to be fixed... :)
But in the end, I can (and will) just report whatever I come across. Thanks for
being so responsive!)
