Please always keep the syntax clean, that means leave the hyphens in place.
If necessary, shorten the package name hard at the end (which GAR could have
done). That means
  CSWpm-email-mime-attachment-stri

The catalog name should include the full module name.

Checkpkg should then be smart enough to not complain (I think it will
complain, but that should be fixed then).


Best regards
