OK, it looks like they're working on the troublesome filtering/searching problems, but there's one thing I'm still waiting for. Long file names! I'm not asking for much. I'll live with some of the deficiencies. But I'm tired of getting a bunch of files (esp. from PC users) where (a) the file names have been truncated to 31 characters, and (b) due to that, the extension is lost (great idea going to extensions, Apple!). So I have to copy the file, add the appropriate extension (if I can figure out what it was), then open it (I could just rename the file, but then the attachment link would be lost on the email).

Even if you guys just truncate the file name, but keep the extension, I could handle that (wouldn't be happy, but I could handle it).
