The last two times I sent Word file attachments, the recipients got them as ATT00013.dat files. The recipients were able to open the files and save them as normal Word files. 

Reproducible: Didn't try

Yep, outlook does not support RFC2231.

The issue has not been resolved for me. This bug occurred only after I updated Thunderbird to version 1.5.08 last Thursday. The affected files had *English* names with up to 60 characters including blank spaces. My clients are not amused...

I don't understand the comment: what is "RFC2231"? ;-)

This bug is a duplicate; do not reopen it.  If you don't understand RFC 2231, perhaps you should start by reading the other bug.
