=== MIME part names ===

To best show users that do not have a PGP/MIME aware MUA what a Mail contains it is suggested that the header of an ~OpenPGP encrypted MIME part or of the signature has a file name.

* openpgp-encrypted-message.asc: For encrypted messages e.g.:
{{{
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
	name="openpgp-encrypted-message.asc"
Content-Disposition: inline;
	filename="openpgp-encrypted-message.asc"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
}}}

* openpgp-digital-signature.asc: For the signature e.g.:
{{{
Content-Type: application/pgp-signature;
	name="openpgp-digital-signature.asc"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
}}}
