I fully agree.

Great! Indeed, I think it doesn't work. In the examples I sent you,
there was something like:

X-Sun-Data-Type: default
X-Sun-Data-Description: default
X-Sun-Data-Name: DEFAULTS.M08

(Ha! don't get confused by the filename "DEFAULTS.M08", the "default"
in there has NOTHING to do with the Sun Mailtool, it has something to
do with the sort of files we sent each other).

I still see a description "default" (from X-Sun-Data-Description:
default presumably) for all attached files in one email. I though I was
supposed to see the filenames.

Furthermore, perhaps I should try to expand the patch to also use the
X-Sun-Data-Name: for the filename provided by mutt when saving such an
attachment.

I know, I'm pushing it. Perhaps we should take this offline (PM), and
provide a patch once finalized and tested. ;-)

Thanks for your effort, I appreciate it!

Very much, I could too.
