Filename in AS2 messages: msg#00000

Subject: Filename in AS2 messages

I'd like to clarify how the filenames are expected to be communicated in AS2. Since AS2 data is represented by MIME body, the implication is that Content-Disposition header can be used for that purpose.

Is this a correct assumption?

If so, it would be great if AS2 spec made an explicit reference to RFC-2183 (update of rfc1806) "Communicating Presentation Information in Internet Messages: The Content-Disposition Header Field" with respect to AS2 filename. I've noticed that the header is included in the samples that accompany the specification but making it explicit would improve interoperability.

Also, as a practical question, do current AS2 implementation include Content-Disposition header with filename parameter when sending and look for it when receiving as far as people know?

Thank you.
