Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 239192

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Daniel Morante]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Harrison Conference Center at Glen Cove/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Harrison Conference Center at Glen Cove/1.0

When using the command line to send an email with attachment, Thunderbird cuts
off everything after the "#" sign.

The file is succesfully attached with no errors poping up.  When sending email
it complains that it can not find the file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create a command like the one below:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -compose
"to='[e-mail]',subject=test,attachment='file:///C:\Documents and
Settings\danny\Local Settings\Temp\ADI Upload PC#123123123
(10-30-2003)-10506.xls',body=See attached File."

Actual Results:  
Thunderbird attaches the file specified in the atachment path, but the filename
is truncated at the # sign.

When you try to preview the attachment, nothing happens (double click or open)
When you send the messege an error appears stating that it can not find the
file.  The path in error message is to the truncated file.

Expected Results:  
The # sign is part of the file name and the file atachment path should not be
cut off at it.

I was creating a VB Macro in Excel 2000 to have a workbook mailed as an
attachment in Thunderbird becuase the built in function (Send Workbook as
attachment) is not functional with Thunderbird.

Problem has already been fixed, will be part of Thunderbird 1.1.  Current 
nightly builds include the fix now.
