Hi,

Is there a way to display filenames next to the "buttons" associated
with attachments
in a presentation buffer (of received mail). I frequently have emails
with multiple
attachments in them, and have to attempt to save them to see which one
I actually want to open, which is often tiresome.

Currently I see something like:

BUTTON application/msword        [Click mouse-2 to display Word
document]

I would like to see

BUTTON application/msword filename.doc       [Click mouse-2 to display
Word document]

I have tried setting
vm-mime-button-format-alist
but it seemed to be ignored when I changed every
[%k to %a] to [%f to %a] which should (I guessed) have displayed:
[filename.doc to display Word document]

It seems that
vm-mime-default-action-string-alist
has something to do with this as but I cannot fathom it!

Help would be appreciated as this has always bugged me with VM

Otherwise it rocks! And thanks to Robert Widhopf-Fenk for
continuing its development.
