1341.0. "Filename for uuencoded files?" by KERNEL::HOULDINGJ (Jill Houlding - Back in Basingstoke) Wed Jan 29 1997 15:00

MAILWorks UNIX V1.7A

Customer would like to know if it is possible to change the filename on an
outgoing uuencoded attachment. 

Am I right in saying that the filename of the attachment is preserved in
MAILWorks V2.0?

As a matter of interest what is the default filename? Is it Enclosurenn? where
nn is a number?

Thanks for your help

Regards

Jill

Well, good question... this is how it works today:

- If sendMime=TRUE we will pass the filename of any attachements via
the "name=" field. Once RFC 1806 matures from being experimental we
will implement that.

- We do not carry filenames via uuencode. We could do that, but I would
encourage customers to use MIME.

- In the X.400 case we also support FTBP so filenames can be carried along
with X.400 messages.

1341.2No default filenames for X.400 messagesKOALA::PAWELKOMon Feb 03 1997 10:0014
Hello Jill,

     For X.400 messages, no default attachment names are used.
One exception is an RTF cover memo, which will be given
the name "cover.rtf" so that an Exchange user can tell it's a
cover memo.
     
     For the MIME case, I believe the default filename is "dmw"
plus the proper extension, e.g. "dmw.doc" or "dmw.txt".


Hope this helps,

	Mary
