On English Language WinXP with Asian language support.
If I try to attach a file (that has an English language name) but it comes from
inside a folder that has asian characters (japanese) in it's name, when trying
to send a message pops up that says the "Temporary folder C:/ etc . . .  cannot
be opened. Please check your temporary folder settings."
The said folder is not a temporary folder and if it is renamed using western
characters then there is no problem in sending an attachment from this folder.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.attach a document etc from a folder that is named using asain fonts
2.try to send attachment.
3.send fails and incorrect error message pops up.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
