If you compose a message and attach attachment with file name longer than 60 symbols, send mail to a person, who uses non-thunderbird mail client, this attachment file name becomes similar to att3vnx.doc (when extension is *.doc). 

At least this is true for lotus notes and gmail. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Compose new message
2.Attach file, with name longer than 60 symbols
3.Send mail to non-thunderbird account
4.Open mail. See bad filename of attachment
Actual Results:  
Incorrect filename

Expected Results:  
Correct filename
Only if they don't support RFC 2231.
