just a short question: why do some mailers, for example Microsoft
Outlook, do not have double quotes around the 'filename' thing? For
example:

Because it simplifies the program.  The boundary _must_ be quoted if it
contains any of the following characters:
        ( ) < > @ , ; : \ " / [ ] ? = space tab

Rather than include the logic to determine whether the boundary can
be specified as just a token (because it doesn't contain any of those
characters) it may be simpler to just always express it as a quoted
string.
