I think that's a good idea.  Very few users have any idea what the
file name is (and their programs have less, lots of my colleagues send
files with names beginning ESC $ B -- which are the escape codes to
switch to Japanese! the programs don't know how to encode them
properly) They just click on the link.  So I think it's mostly
harmless.

We should provide a FAQ for the admins who do want the feature.

For 2.2 we should think about truncating the buffer.
