yes.

wouldn't it more sense to modify the boundry tag to be independent of the
mime tag so that you could wrap it. eg.

<dtml-mime>
<dtml-if file>
<dtml-boundry><dtml-var file></dtml-boundry>
</dtml-if>
</dtml-mime>

or even

<dtml-mime>
<dtml-if file>
<dtml-var file fmt=boundry>
</dtml-if>
</dtml-mime>

So how do I get the name from a file that was uploaded? 
Also what is the mime statement to set the name of an attachment in an
email?
