There is a standard SMTP header named Content-Disposition, that has a filename attribute. That contains the original name of the attached file. It looks something like this: Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=test.zip; This is set by the mail client when you attach the file and send it. The mail servers normally do not have to deduce this.
