Is it possible to set an alias for an attached file in an e-mail newsletter?

The file is stored on the server. Its name consists of certain id elements from the database in order to easily find it.
The file must be attached to the e-mail. When the letter arrives to the user, he sees the attached file, as it seems to him, with a strange name.
Is it possible to set an alias for the attached file in the e-mail distribution so that the name is understandable to the user? Are there specific Email headers to alias attachments? Or something like that.
PS Please do not write answers like "so call it on the server normally"

The file name is transmitted in the letter and it does not have to be the same as the name with which the file is stored on the server. In order to set a normal file name in a letter, you need to change or configure the program with which you generate an email, as far as possible, it depends solely on it.
If you want the "dirty" but versatile way, make a symbolic link to the server file (symlinks are supported on both Unix/Linux and Windows) with a normal name and attach the file by the name of the symbolic link.
