but no mention of what if it shouldn't be saved as a file. 0 length,
perhaps?
That's what I'd do.
Isn't _CONSOLE what is used when something shouldn't be saved as a
file? I'd say zero length just means that the sender didn't give a
file name, whether because the data doesn't have one, or because the
filename is private, or even because it just didn't want to.
I think the 0 option for the literal timestamp is similar - it just
means the sender didn't give a time. The recipient can interpret that
however it likes.
