Description

Attachment name displays fine in RC but it shows as ATT00032.doc in Outlook 2003. The contents of the file is fine, when renamed to test.xls it opens fine. Similar behaviour is experienced when attaching test.jpg, shows fine in RC but as ATT00026.jpg in Outlook 2003.

PHP 5.2.0-8+etch11 all requried and optional extensions and libs installed. SMTP server: Exim4

Test message Upload-ID '20080904_201139_5'

Sounds similar to my bug #1485319. That is the same file name pattern (ATT0032, ATT0014, etc.) that my issue has too. I thought those names were just the original attachments until I saw this... could be RC renaming the file and the extension.

Looks like #1485151 to me.

"The problem is that Microsoft appears to have fallen on hard times as they don't seem to be able to attract an engineer that is able to implement RFC2231 attachment naming. Instead mails that use RFC2231 for attachment naming are shown in Outlook with cryptic names (ATT000...)."

We can add an option "Outlook compatible attachment names" and use rfc2047, but it needs changes in PEAR::mimePart.
