That's because the above mutation is not the correct way to encode 8bit

See RFC 2231 for the correct way to encode these headers.
I will try (mail RFCs are intimidating). In the meantime, are some test results
with three MUAs. In all cases, the attached file is called "bláblá.txt"
mutt:
--45Z9DzgjV8m4Oswq
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename*=iso-8859-1''bl%E1bl%E1%2Etxt
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
reformime gets this one correctly: Filename [bl_bl_.txt]:
This is the correct encoding format.
Thunderbird:
--------------080408010609090603030907
Content-Type: text/plain; name="=?ISO-8859-1?Q?bl=E1bl=E1=2Etxt?="
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="=?ISO-8859-1?Q?bl=E1bl=E1=2Etxt?="
reformime -x gives:
Filename [_ISO-8859-1_Q_bl_E1bl_E1_2Etxt__]:
Wrong format. File a bug to fix Thunderbird.
Outlook express:
------=_NextPart_000_0015_01C50864.97F08000
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed;
name="=?iso-8859-1?B?YmzhYmzhLnR4dA==?="; reply-type=original
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="=?iso-8859-1?B?YmzhYmzhLnR4dA==?="
reformime -x gives:
Filename [_iso-8859-1_B_YmzhYmzhLnR4dA____]:
So, is mutt the only one getting it correctly?
Yup.
(just read the rfc and it seems so:
Asterisks ("*") are reused to provide the indicator that language and
character set information is present and encoding is being used. A
single quote ("'") is used to delimit the character set and language
information at the beginning of the parameter value. Percent signs
("%") are used as the encoding flag, which agrees with RFC 2047
)
If yes, then it is bad for the other mailers... As much as I love mutt as I
do, it is of course one of the least used MUAs out there... :(
You could try to see if you can get Thunderbird fixed.
