Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 309566

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Henning]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; de; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070219 Firefox/2.0.0.2
Build Identifier: 1.5.0.10 

When sending attachments like PDF and DOC documents (PDF created with JawsPDF) the attachments arrive as e.g. ATT 12502382.dat. I checked the email client of the receiver and identified these clients: Exchange V6.5.7226.0, Exchange V6.5, Exchange V6.0.6603.0 

Attachment to other recipients work fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
This is exactly what I did
1. Open explorer in Windows and right click PDF or Word file to send it via email
2. Write email with Thunderbird and send with attachment
3 [review]. Checked sent folder and ther email looks fine
Actual Results:  
No special steps, attachments arrive as e.g. ATT 12502382.dat at recipient

Expected Results:  
Mail sent perfectly but recived with renamed attachments

Encoding problem? Incompatibility of Exchange/Outlook?

Missing RFC2231 support in outlook. (Though a workaround for this is available in thunderbird2.)
