49867 - cannot attach files with Japanese names in any directory other than Windows Desktop

Status: CLOSED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Internationalization, defect, P3)

Description

[Gary Liu]

When composing a message with a Japanese attachment, the Japanese file can be
successfully attached only when it is on the Windows desktop. When the files are
in other directories, they are not attached and no error is produced.

observed with 2000-08-18-08M18 build under JA Win98

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a file with a Japanese name on the desktop (I used ????????.txt)
2. In NS 6 go to File->New->Message
3. In composer window, go to File->Attach File
4. Select the file on the desktop. It should be attached now.
5. Copy the file to any other directory (I used the root directory)
6. Try attaching the file again

Expected result: the file should be attached
Actual result: nothing is attached.
