Hi!

From a bug report against _KMail_:

Compare two attachment header with smae name and look on difference!
Outlook Express:
Content-Type: application/msword;
     name="=?koi8-r?B?Q8/XxdQuZG9j?="

Should one work around this?

If you are referring to the QP in MIME headers; yes, add QP decoding
of filename like strings in MIME headers.  It increases interop alot
even though it violates the standard.  You should not generate such
garbage though.

Making KMail send a auto complaint to the originator asking her to ask
their Microsoft support to fix their software is optional though. :)
