       This is from Wikipedia:

Many mail user agents also send messages with the file name in the
name parameter of the content-type header instead of the filename
parameter of the content-disposition header. This practice is
discouraged.

So, you are right. Blackberry is definitely doing something bad. But I
didn't even know that 'name' field existed and I have been playing
around with SMTP for a while. :( Thanks
