Hi!
First I do not know if this is a KDE problem, because kword opens the file without this problem.

Second the letter "ö" is transformed to "|" pipe and MS-Word complains

Are you referring to attachment names?

Comment 2 Ferdinand Gassauer 2004-07-20 21:32:08 UTC

yes, but currently the handling of Umlaute and attachment names is so broken, that I can not jugde what happens.

Comment 3 Michael Jahn 2004-07-26 21:00:14 UTC

Is this the same as the handling of attachment names with Outlook? If yes this bug can be closed, as this "feature" is implemented in HEAD.
