Subject: Invalid OpenVMS Attachment Names!

From: [email-masked] (Lawrence Houston)

In sending Binary Attachments from Pine for OpenVMS (3.91 - PMDF V5.0) to
non-OpenVMS Hosts the Name used is the full VMS Path looking something
like:

     DISK?:<USERID>FILENAME.;N

All these special characters make the filename "invalid" for many
non-OpenVMS receiving E-mail Applications!  Is there a way for Pine to
use just the FINENAME portion, as UNIX versions of Pine would do?
