I realized that this was fixed and the code made it into 1.5 (okay, we don't implement RFC 2047 in filename parameters, but it looks like we really should be implementing RFC 2231).

While implementing this feature, please keep in mind bug #17047, "Implement MIME Parameter Value and Encoded Word Extensions (RFC 2231)".

mhbuild should use the Content-Disposition header field rather than the deprecated Content-Type name parameter.

mhstore should use the filename parameter in the Content-Disposition field as the filename for the stored file.

While it is not required, it appears that some mailers use RFC 2047 encodings in the filename parameter. Gnus looks for and decodes these encodings. Following the "be liberal in what you receive" philosophy, so too, should nmh.

nmh 1.1 RC 4 on Debian GNU/Linux (etch).
