Forbidding >user agent from processing these messages in this way is fiction. The file name is advisory only. Implementations removing %-encoding may be unfortunate, just like implementations stripping all but the first eight [a-z] characters may be unfortunate, but they are not in violation of the specification, as the file name is advisory only. That there may be problems using % in file names is already noted in the draft. So, we can move on with the draft as it is. I am glad we cleared this up. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
