Expanding on this: 1) We can't recommend to unconditionally *only* use the "filename*" format, as it's not supported by Safari (a), nor by IE on Windows XP (b). 2) We can't recommend to unconditionally send both, with "filename*" first, because it fails with IE on Windows XP (b). See <http://greenbytes.de/tech/tc2231/#attfnboth2>. 3) We can't recommend to unconditionally send both, with "filename*" second, because it fails with Firefox, even in version 4 (c). See <http://greenbytes.de/tech/tc2231/#attfnboth>. Further comments: (a) Related Safari bug report is <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15287>, "rdar://4727992". My understanding is that this eventually will get fixed, but we won't know until it happens due to Apple's policy with respect to announcing products. b) We could decide that this is not a problem because of Windows XP being phased out. c) This has had a bug report and patch since September 2010 (<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=588781>), but unfortunately it won't be fixed in FF4. It would be awesome if the Mozilla developers would reconsider this. Best regards, Julian
