Description Oleg 2005-09-22 22:43:07 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages
OS:                Linux

I use KDE 3.4.2 and kmail 1.8.2
Russian koi8-r locale.

When I attach file with russian characters in file-name, I get such mime headers:

 Content-Type: application/msword;
  name*=koi8-r''%F0%D2%C1%D7%C9%CC%C1%20%CB%C1%CE%C1%CC%C1%2019%2E09%2Edoc
 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
 Content-Disposition: attachment;
      filename*="koi8-r''%F0%D2%C1%D7%C9%CC%C1%20%CB%C1%CE%C1%CC%C1%2019%2E09%2Edoc"

But when I send this file by Thunderbird, mime headers of attachment are:

 Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
 name="=?KOI8-R?Q?=F0=D2=C1=D7=C9=CC=C1_=CB=C1=CE=C1=CC=C1_19=2E09=2Edoc?="
 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
 Content-Disposition: attachment; 
filename="=?KOI8-R?Q?=F0=D2=C1=D7=C9=CC=C1_=CB=C1=CE=C1=CC=C1_19=2E09=2Edoc?="

Are keywords name*= and filename*= correct ?
I think no.

Comment 1 Reinhold Kainhofer 2006-12-21 01:15:12 UTC
Yes, name*= and filename*= are extensions to the name= and filename= keywords. These extensions are defined in RFC 2231. 
Until KDE 3.5.5, kmail does not properly handle these name* and filename* keywords (which are e.g. produced by thunderbird). I have a patch here, which makes kmail behave correct with those file names, but I first have to get clearance from the kmail maintainers to apply it for kde 3.5.6.

Cheers,
Reinhold
Comment 2 Reinhold Kainhofer 2007-01-10 16:07:07 UTC
SVN commit 622052 by kainhofe:

Make RFC 2231-encoded attachment names work. Patch approved by Ingo (the issues he had were corrected).

RFC 2231 defines an enhanced encoding for attachment filenames, and thunderbird
apparently implemented this encoding. RFC 2231 allows one field to be split 
across multiple numbered entries of the form fieldname*0=....; 
fieldname*1=...; fieldname*2=...; or fieldname*0=....; fieldname*1=...; fieldname*2=...; 
All these entries first need to be concatenated to form the full value of the field. 

Here's a real-life example:

--------------060807060608070200030605
Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel;
 name*0*=ISO-8859-15''%41%46%42%D6%20%42%65%73%65%74%7A%75%6E%67%73%6C%69;
 name*1*=%73%74%65%20%53%74%61%6E%64%20%32%30%30%36%2D%31%32%2D%31%39%2E;
 name*2*=%78%6C%73
 Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
 Content-Disposition: inline;
 filename*0*=ISO-8859-15''%41%46%42%D6%20%42%65%73%65%74%7A%75%6E%67%73%6C;
 filename*1*=%69%73%74%65%20%53%74%61%6E%64%20%32%30%30%36%2D%31%32%2D%31;
 filename*2*=%39%2E%78%6C%73


As a result, KMail shows %39%2E%78%6C%73 as the file name in both the message 
preview panel as well as in the mime tree. 

With this patch, KMail correctly shows the proper filename.
The patch adds one static method to collect all parts of rfc 2231-encoded 
params into one single string. That method is then used in two different 
places for the name and the filename props.



One minor problem remains, though: As the mime library does not have support 
for rfc2231 encoded attachments, the message is not shown with the attachment 
icon in the message list.
