291794 - Attachments with long filenames (52+ characters) arrive with shortened (to 8) and garbled filename (in Lotus Notes only?)

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Peter Lairo]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050424 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.0+ (20050422)

Attachments with long filenames (52+ characters) arrive with shortened (to 8)
and garbled filename (in Lotus Notes only?)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send an e-mail with an attachment whose filename (without extension) is 52 or
more characters.

2. Receive e-mail in Lotus Notes (not thunderbird)
Actual Results:  
Long filename is reduced to 8 characters which are unrelated to the original
filename.

e.g.:
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012.xls
becomes
attneogg.xls

Expected Results:  
The filename should not be limited to only 52 characters, and should not be altered.

This might be a bug/limitation in Lotus Notes, and not a bug in Thunderbird.
Unfortunately, I can't test this with another e-mail client (e.g., Outlook).

Feel free to WORKSFORME.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
