Hrm...  Ok, I don't use snortsnarf, so this might be a silly question:  Since
'the html tree that snortsnarf creates' is built by it, isn't that what's
really giving you the issues with the filenames?  I'm not sure, so I had to
ask.  :)

Naaa....  It's not messed up.  I'd say it might be quite a bit more common
that you think.

:)  Well there is a way to do it.  I'm just not sure where you'd need to edit
the code at yet.  I'll grunge thru it later on and see if I can come up with
something.

;-)  It's simple yet effective.  Besides, I hate virus propagation programs
that try to pretend to be an email client.
