Using Thunderbird and Outlook 2007,  I have noted the following

If a file is attached to an email, and the file name is  of the form 

this.is.a.file.doc  

I noted that the downloaded attachment name is converted to "this is a 
file.doc". That is, all the dots but the right most are converted to spaces.

Is this a normal to strip the base-name of  the dots?

Why do I ask, well   We are wrapping a file with another name ,
for example

For the file "this.is.a.file.doc", it  is wrapped to  
"this.is.a.file.doc.encr".  Encr is now the suffix and  in the directory entry 
we end up with is "this is a file doc.encr".  The true suffix is not known 
since an embedded file may not have a suffix.

Ideas please. Is this normal behaviour?
