[Bug 73475] Re: KMail's attachments aren't readable

[jaded Phoenix]

I've located the problem just yesterday. The trouble begins when kontact
sends a message with Cyrillic letters in its name. The whole
MIME-encoded multipart message sent to the recipient contain something
like this:
------
filename*="<mime-encoded file name>"
------
of course, the correct one should be
------
filename="<mime-encoded file name>"
------

so, the problem is that kontact (or kmail?) adds an extra asterisk to
the variable name "filename".

There is a workaround for this. By default kmail sticks to 'utf8' when
encoding messages. If I add 'cp1251' (windows Cyrillic) and move it up
in the list (i.e. making it the default one), everything becomes ok.
There is no need in deleting 'utf8' entries, I just have to add
'cp1251'.


Oh, I'm sorry, but I won't be able to do further investigations on the
bug, since I've moved on to Ubuntu 7.04. Thanks and good luck!
