The MTOM spec specifies the use of a subset of MIME and a subset of XOP to transmit an attachment. As Dan says, the spec probably doesn't prohibit putting a file name into the MIME header, but it also doesn't define the semantics of doing that. The spec just doesn't think about the idea of a file name associated with an attachment. On Mon, Jun 9, 2008 at 4:44 PM, Boxiong Ding <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thank you for your answer.
