Both {=$:Download} and [[{=$:Download}]] should be producing the 
attachment links, so there must be something else going on here.
Could you point to a page that shows the problem?

Oh.  If the pagelist is coming from a page in a different group
(I'm guessing this is on pmwiki.org), does that other group have 
uploads enabled?  If not, then that's why the Attach: markup
isn't working in the pagelist.

At the moment there's not an easy way to have the Attach:
automatically convert itself to Attach:Cookbook./filename.ext, 
or to hide the "Cookbook" part if it does.  But maybe we can come
up with something here.  I'm still hoping to make Attach:
page-relative in the same way that links and page variables are 
becoming page-relative, but I haven't come up with the right
pattern/replacement to make that happen (because, as you
point out, changing the attach page also changes the markup).
