reassign to nhotta

"a decomposed string" you mean encoded string like "bq--ABCDE"?

let me add some steps to the test:
- after you get an error message in step 2 about the difficulties to include the
attachment (since the display of the link is garbled), send the message anyway;
- get the message;
- click on the link inside the body (its display is correct);
- get an error message, screen shot to follow

Attachment: this is an error message you get when clicking on the link that includes IDN inside the message body

I believe this was fixed on SeaMonkey a while ago, bug 378991 fixed this for Thunderbird. Therefore marking as WFM.
