343226 - Can not handle files if the name includes non ASCII

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 309566

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[tati]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

When trying to send an e-mail with a file name including non ascii characters (e.g. äüö, the same happens if the filename has "(" ) the name of the attachement gets an additional % so that file can not be opened by an the addressee (with an outlook account).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to a folder with a file "Düs.pdf" 
2. click on "send as e-mail"
3. enter an e-mail address of someone with an outlook account/different thunderbird client
(if send to the same thunderbird client (own client) the error does not occur)
4. click on send

The same bug occurs when receiving a file with non-ascii characters.

Hope that helps

Tati
Actual Results:  
The addressee can not open the attachement


not introduce % in the file name
