OK, thank you.  The server could be made to handle this, for example, by appending a time stamp, username, and index number to each attachment as it comes in.  At the very least, I suggest that the error message be changed to tell users to name their attachments this way.  As attachment files build up on the server, users are going to have a harder and harder time guessing at unique filenames without being able to see the existing ones.

Rewriting the filename of every attempted file upload also has it's own overhead on the server, so that's why we don't do that.

The error message does say "Please rename the file and try again." I suppose it could be main clearer, though.
