RFC 1806 vs. Application content-type "name" parameter
Jim Conklin
>
>In the MIME RFC 1521, section 7.4.1 states the following:
>
> RFC 1341 also defined the use of a "NAME" parameter which gave a
> suggested file name to be used if the data were to be written to a
> file. This has been deprecated in anticipation of a separate
> Content-Disposition header field, to be defined in a subsequent RFC.
>
>The subsequent RFC that is referred to is 1806, which is still categorized as
>"experimental".
>
>RFC 1521 discourages the use of the old "NAME" parameter. My question is
>this: when trying to communicate file name information between old and new
>MIME mailers, is it recommended to upgrade the older application to employ the
>"experimental" RFC 1806 or to "downgrade" the new application to RFC 1341?
