Retrieve file names in attachments

[Sharmila Pillai <sh...@ebi.ac.uk>]

Hi,

    I am attempting to send a few files as attachments. Think the best would
be to put all files into a directory and send it as an attachment. The
problem is, at the server side, I want to be able to identify each file by
its name and work on each differently. Hope I am clear. Now, how do I do
this? 

Any help is appreciated.

TIA,
Sharmila.

I am passing the dataHandler and a Vector of fileNames. I couldn't
think/find a better way.

Thanks,
Sharmila.

I have also sent attachments. I guess you use the DataHandler type.
The file name is not sent because that is extra information (not the
attachment itself) and may be you need an additional tag (<filename>).
I was figuring out about how to achieve extra attributes in the attachment
tag in order to specify the name, but nothing so far.
But perhaps you can do it in the mime headers. See the APIs.
