Attachments loose their names!

As you probably know, MIME is a standard that basically lets a 
single (email) file "contain" mutiple typed "parts". Types 
include text, html and multimedia etc.

>Content-Disposition: inline

This above line is saying that the corresponsing "part" should 
be displayed "inline" by the email browser (rather than as say
an attachment icon).  As you note, PMMail doesn't do this.

Note this is not a bug, the filed is "advisory", and so it's legal
to ignore this, but it would be nice if PMMAIL did obey it when it 
can - note it would be hard (not impossible) to get it to display 
mutimedia and pdf files etc inline, but text and html should be no 
problem at all).

Trevor:  Can you add another feature request, to support a
         Content-Disposition of "inline" for MIME types
         like text and text/html that can currently be rendered 
         by PMMAIL?
