Long attachement filenames not being displayed
Reported by Tee Yen Ng | August 1st, 2022 @ 12:56 PM
Hi,
When I receive email from iOS Mail users which have attachments
with long filenames Mailmate will only display the attachments as
Attachment.XXX. The XXX will
match the actual filename extension (i.e.
pdf/docx/etc).
When I look at the raw message, the headers look like this:
Content-Type: application/x-custom-type;
name*0=some_really_long_filename_that_goes_beyond_the_78_character_limit_of;
name*1=mime_line.pdf
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename*0=some_really_long_filename_that_goes_beyond_the_78_character_limit;
filename*1=_of_mine_line.pdf
I'm not sure if this is some oddity of iOS Mail, or some dusty part of a standard?
When Mailmate sends email, it doesn't seem to wrap the filename.
Cheers,
Yen

Attachment file names are badly standardized, but in this case MailMate is to blame (for not supporting the *-style). I do believe I already fixed it though. Could you check for me and let me know if I'm wrong: Hold down ⌥ when clicking “Check Now” in the Software Update preferences pane to get the latest test release.

Hi Benny,
I'm still seeing this issue on version 1.14 (5964).
Below are some snaps from live examples that still show
Attachment.pdfExample 2 is an interesting one—the
Content-Typenameis encoded differently than theContent-Dispositionfilename.The former is just enclosed in double quotes (") as normal; but the latter starts with
utf8''and the balance of the line is URL encoded.Cheers,
YenExample 1
