Thank you very much for your email.

I just tried this again but could not reproduce it either.

I guess it just happened to a very particular message in my inbox.

I was probably quite unlucky that my first try was on such a peculiar message.

Now I couldn't remember what message I was looking at and I cannot find it anymore.

I'll report back if I see the problem again.

I could not duplicate this with the message you sent to the list. Does
it happen with all html parts for you, or just some? If the latter, can
you share an example message?

I suspect emacs is taking taking the file name from the message, but I
don't know for sure.
