Tested and it is still present, I ran into the same problem with a
document name in spanish (using vowels with accents áéíóú) and it
converted my PDF to a .DAT file.

It happens on Outlook 2007, 2003 and even on the OWA (Outlook Web
Access), after reading this bug report I tried sending the same file
changing the  filename, by removing the accents and it worked, the file
got to all the people I tried without problems.

If the same exchange account is configured in evolution and the message
is opened, the attachment looks ok with the proper name.

I decided to create a message with 2 attachments, one with accent and
the oner with regular characters.  Obviously the non accented name came
well to all the clients, but the other was converted.  After looking at
the source of the message I found this:

File 1, with accents:
Content-Disposition: attachment; 
filename*=ISO-8859-1''Presentaci%F3n%20de%20NODE.pdf
Content-Type: application/pdf; name*=ISO-8859-1''Presentaci%F3n%20de%20NODE.pdf

Where Presentaci%F3n%20de%20NODE should be "Presentación de NODE"

File 2, without accents:
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Propuesta de mantenimiento.pdf"
Content-Type: application/pdf; name="Propuesta de mantenimiento.pdf"

Seems odd also that instead of enclosing the filename between the
quotation mark it is besides the quotation marks(there are 2 in there),
I don't know how the RFC defines such cases, but it migth give some
clues about the problem.
