Description Tarpast 2013-04-18 07:11:42 UTC

Attachments with non latin-1 character encoding are not readable in MS Outlook. I know, it is first problem of Microsoft and his "not-compatible politic", but too many people have Out-shit-look installed in work...
Attachments with spaces and diacritics in title are renamed by Outlook like AT00025.dat Attachments with "clean title" are OK.
Renaming attachments compatible with Outlook in Kmail settings checked.



Reproducible: Always

Hello Laurent,
I am sending screenshots of attachments. I haven´t Outlook, but install MS 
Live Mail produce the same: renaming attachments as ATTxxxxx.dat. Renaming 
is probably inner MS algorithm.

regards Michael

I looked at code, and it seems perfect.
Perhaps I need outlook to test it...

Comment 7 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 18:17:55 UTC

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Comment 8 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:06:18 UTC

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
