Description Dan A. Dickey 2004-10-11 19:03:52 UTC
Version:           1.0 (using KDE 3.3.0, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.2 (Gentoo Linux 3.4.2-r2, ssp-3.4.1-1, pie-8.7.6.5)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-gentoo-r6

In the winmail.dat attachments, if I'm sent a document with a "long" NTFS style filename and try to extract it using the tnef file viewer - the viewer extracts it to a file with the "short DOS" style filename.  I'd like it to use the longer name and not have to deal with short names with tildes in them and not have to actually type in the long name.
As the viewer already displays the long name, this should be easily done.
Comment 1 Christiaan Hees 2005-03-25 23:57:44 UTC
I had a tnef attachment with 3 files in it:

Fall 2005 Enrollment Instructions.doc
Fall 2005 Enrollment Worksheet.doc
L & S Depts II.doc

Now when I extracted the 3 files, I got only 2 files:

Fall2005.doc
LSDeptsI.doc

Apart from the fact that the files didn't have the same name anymore, I also couldn't get the 3rd file extracted in any way. If I tried to explicitly extract the Enrollment Worksheet file, I still got the Enrollment Instructions file. (named Fall2005.doc again)

An additional attachment ktnef 1.0 can't appropriately explode.

Thanks. That was fast.
I guess I'll have to start pinging more bug reports ;)

It might sound odd, yes, but it sometimes really helps. With 20,000+ reports (not counting the feature requests), nobody really checks them all to see which are still reproducible and actually affect users. So adding comments even to very old bugs is a good idea.
