Using Thunderbird 2 alpha 1 (20060724), messages which have attachments cannot be read correctly by Outlook clients. When I look at the message myself in Thunderbird, it seems OK (in my Sent folder). But the receiver gets a "foo.dat" file as the attachment in Outlook.
The attachment had a "long file name"; when I send a "short name" (like "test.pdf" it appears to work as expected.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Compose message
2.Attach a file (PDF in my example)
3.Send to Outlook user
Actual Results:
There is an attachment with the correct contents. But the file name shows up as a *.DAT file
See file headers below: perhaps filename*0, etc. syntax is not accepted?
Expected Results:
Obvious...
Subject: Can you read this attachment or not?
