What more information is needed? send the short filename and long filename attachment in a email to some outlook squirrel mail, outlook express, horde and see how it goes wrong.
The long filename attachment will be meshed up and look like a peace of binary crap. I still got very big problems with this bug,
If you need more info please contact me.

** Summary changed:

- Sending a attachment with a long filename is goes horribly wrong
+ Sending a attachment with a long filename does not work correctly!

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird
  
- Sending a attachment with a long filename is goes horribly wrong
+ Sending a attachment with a long filename does not work, and goes wrong
+ when sending to squirrel mail, outlook express, horde and maybe other
+ clients.
  
  Hello, I have been working on a big issue with sending email form Thunderbird to:
  squirrel mail, outlook express, horde and maybe other clients.
  
  While I send a file with a long filename the attachment will not arrive
  successful by the recipient the filename will be lost but mine type will
  be correct. In outlook express this mean the file will be renamed to
  something like D234234.dat a binary file.
  
  I have attachment two documents they are the same but one with a short
  name and one with a long name. If you send those with Thunderbird to a
  other client it will go wrong. But in Thunderbird everything seems to go
  fine.
  
  Also when I sent the same files with squirrel mail, horde, claws mail or
  outlook the file will be received successful by the recipient.
  
  I have to mail a lot to persons with outlook clients and I have been
  pulling my hair out why they did not receive my mail attachments
  correctly.
  
  This tells me there is a probably a big problem with the way the
  standards are implemented in Thunderbird.
  
  Please fix this bug, so I can safely send mail again to the rest of the
  not Thunderbird client using world. :-D
