  Could you give me an example of a full filename? And exactly how you attach it (drag and drop from where or maybe copy/paste)?

  Thank you for your quick reply.
  I'm attaching via drag and drop usually. And all of the filenames contain surnames of other people, so I don't want to share them publicly. But I've noticed, that all of them contain german special characters like ä, ö, ü. If that doesn't help, I probably could write you an email.

  I seem to be able to reproduce the opposite using Excel, that is, missing double-quotes at the beginning of a line.

  (You can use “Help > Send Feedback” to send me an example. You can probably replace a filename with something nonsensical and still be able to reproduce the issue.)

  Just for the record: I've send you an email yesterday with some filenames causing the issue.

  I did get them and I've identified the new bug, but it has also highlighted some (very old) known existing bugs/limitations in the generation/parsing of filenames for attachments. It might be best if I fix these instead of trying to make it work like it did before (which was just a bit less broken than it is now).

  In any case, I'm aware that the current state is not usable.

  Thank your for your clarifications - please let me know, if I can help testing. Do have some hints to work around this bug in the meanwhile cause I've to rely on sending documents (e.g. renaming them)?

  I believe the next test release should make this work for you (r5778+) and it should make attachment name (and header) generation/decoding work better in general. There are still some things which can be improved in relation to the standards (RFC2231) which is why I've put this ticket into the accepted state. This is mainly related to better parsing of what other email clients might generate.

  Thank you, Benny, that was quick! I've installed r5778 and did a quick test - so far no more renaming issues!
