There are two parts to the proposal: 

	1) Add a new parameter type, FILE-NAME
	2) Modify the ATTACH property to use the new parameter

1) Add a new parameter type, FILE-NAME
----------------------
   Parameter Name: FILE-NAME

   Purpose: To specify the filename of a referenced object

   Format Definition: The property parameter is defined by the following
   notation:
     filenameparam = "FILE-NAME" "=" param-value

   Description: This parameter can be specified on properties that are
   used to reference an object. The parameter specifies the file name
   of the referenced object.

   Example:
      ATTACH;FILE-NAME=agenda.doc;FMTTYPE=application/binary
       :ftp://domain.com/pub/docs/agenda.doc

----------------------

2) Modify the ATTACH property to use the new parameter

---------------------
  attparam = *(
                ; the following are optional,
                ; but MUST NOT occur more than once
                (";" fmttypeparam) /
		(";" filenameparam )/
                ; the following is optional,
                ; and MAY occur more than once
                (";" xparam)
--------------------
