            Bug ID: 379476
           Summary: Renaming attachments should also change their
                    Content-Disposition/filename attribute
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.4.3
          Platform: Neon Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kdebugs at CustomCDROM.de
  Target Milestone: ---

1) Attach a file to a message.
2) Right-click the attachment, choose Properties and change the attachment's
name.

Result: The "Content-Type" "name" attribute is changed, as follows:

Content-Type: application/pdf; name="new_name.pdf"

The "Content-Disposition" "filename" attribute stays unchanged, though:

Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="orig_name.pdf"


Somewhat counter-intuitive, this will in most cases cause the attachment to be
called "orig_name.pdf" on the receiver's side, not "new_name.pdf" as one might
expect when using the properties dialog.

By default, the name and filename attributes are set to the same values by
kMail, as far as I can see.

Either the "name" field should change both values, or there should be a
separate "File Name" property.

Maybe interesting in this regard:
