86717 - inconsistency in the attachment name

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(MailNews Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

If you start the composer and add some text and then save the page with a 
filename that contains int chars ala: "זרו.html" and then use File -> Send Page

In the attachment box the filename is shown like:
"זרו.html"
and in the body it's:
<file:///C:/Temp/x/%E6%F8%E5.html>

Is this correct?

I am not sure if that is not unescaped intentionally. As long as it's escaped,
the link would work when it's double-clicked. If unescaped then we should escape
again before it's used. Also, there may be cases where one message contains more
than one URLs in different charsets, so escape/unescape may not work.
There is a RFC related to file name encoding, not sure if that applies to this case.

We are unescaping the url but in that particular case, unescape failed!
Therefore we are displaying the escaped url.

Henrik, as you reported the bug, you're probably the only one who might still know what this is about. 
We really need your input to understand this bug and check if it still applies for TB24.
Clearing needinfo without comment isn't helpful nor polite.
Steps to reproduce or at least a more specific summary (bug title) would be helpful.
