Larry,

in the current thread.]
You're correct in finding cDisp less appealing when dealing with
relative URLs. That's why I'd require the sender to provide absolute
ones. How else could we deal with one message containing two text/html
entities both of which contain "<IMG HREF="todays_comic.gif"> but
different BASE values?

Btw, I like using URL instead of filename in the cDisp header.
HREF would serve as well.

Would you rather have the following? I don't like using 'filename' in
the content-disposition, since it isn't a file name, but a URI.
I could imagine using "href" or "url", though:
