I wish to express my opinion about the length of the name.  I use
Netscape Navigator v2.02 on the Macintosh; it performs a fairly good
e-mail management; nevertheless, when I save e-mail, the program
unexpectedly truncates the name at the last character fitting the name
window, i.e., in this case, the 30th...   :-]

That's why I agree with Robert DeLand.  After downloading I change the
name this way: "MMD yy.mm.dd"; I think this could be a reasonable way to
shorten the name.  After all, although we are submerged by abbreviations,
everyone of us knows "MMD...." daily e-mail is this wonderful Digest.
The extended name might be left on web pages, so that searching engines
"catch" it.

As regards Mime 1.0 request by Robbie, I read somewhere that Netscape
Navigator fully supports MIME protocol.  I think in Netscape site
(http://www.netscape.com, obviously) you'll find explanations.  (I'm not
a Netscape agent; just I find that program useful  ;-)
