formated date in attachment's name of VF email template

I have a little problem. I need to send daily email from workflow.
The email contains attachment and the requirement is the name of the file must contain current date in YYYYMMdd format.
The file's content is generated in custom component located between <messaging:attachment> tags

How can I easily achive this?
I know  one can format dates in output text but it's not my case.
Everything I can think of now looks like an overkill for something so simple

thanks for sharing your ideas

Hi,

You can use functions on template as shown below
<messaging:attachment filename="{!Year(TODAY())}-{!MONTH(TODAY())}-{!Day(TODAY())}">Your file data</messaging:attachment>
