Received an email with 5 attachements (jpg images). I managed to view and open them properly in Mac mail.app, but in Thunderbird, only 4 files were available as attachements and all were corrupted. 2 of the attachment names contained accented chars. Switching the message coding from UTF8 to ISO8859-1 solved the problem (but then the text of the email was not coded properly anymore). 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.receive email with attahcment named with accents
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
attachments are corrupted

Expected Results:  
works fine on mail.app

Attachment names containing non-ASCII characters have to be given in a specific encoding to represent those characters and to define the character set. Assuming that the message is probably too large to be attached (or you don't want to publicly post those images), look into View > Message Source and find the following set of headers preceding each of the JPEG attachments:

Content-Type: image/jpeg; name="test.jpg"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="test.jpg"

If this is still a problem, and you still have that message or another one where you observe this, please post those complete headers for the images and possibly the first two or three lines of the encoding, thus it can be verified whether this is a problem with the format of that message or its interpretation by Thunderbird.
