            Bug ID: 2977
           Summary: Improve attachment naming consistency with modern
                    trends
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: 3.9.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Plugins/Privacy
          Assignee: users at lists.claws-mail.org
          Reporter: LoseDanger at mailinator.com

When claws sends an attachment of unknown content-type, it uses:

Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name=filename.kitten
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=filename.kitten

Using the name= parameter is no longer necessary, so the following can be sent
instead:

Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=filename.kitten

Claws already behaves this way when it sends an attachment with a known
content-type, so consistency should be preferred.

Additionally, removing this name= parameter presents some message size savings.
