295704 - Freeze on attempt to drag attachment with KOI8 Cyrillic filename to windows folder

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Alan Lindsey]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 1.0.2

Attachments with KOI8 Cyrillic names display the name correctly, but any attempt
to drag the attachment to a windows folder causes the program to freeze solid,
with message box stating that attachment could not be saved. Message box does
not respond, and process must be killed. Attachment can be saved using "save
as", but all Cyrillic characters are converted to underscores. "save all" also
freezes program.
 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select message
2. View in preview or message viewer
3. Attempt to drag attachment from TB into any windows folder

Actual Results:  
Messagebox appears telling me attachment could not be saved and to try again later.
Messagebox cannot be dismissed, program does not respond and has to be killed
and restarted. 

Expected Results:  
In order of preference:
- saved attachment as intended, with proper Cyrillic filename
- saved attachment with unsatisfactory filename
- offered to save file with user-entered filename
- responded to Messagebox "OK" button and returned to normal status


Example of "offending" name (from source, message produced by MS Outlook):
Content-Type: image/tiff;
	name="=?koi8-r?B?xsnOLiDQz83P3dggzcXUxcvTLnRpZg==?="
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
	filename="=?koi8-r?B?xsnOLiDQz83P3dggzcXUxcvTLnRpZg==?="

The problem also occurred consistently under Windows 2000.
