Siegfried Goeschl commented on EMAIL-82:
----------------------------------------
I found the problem and it is not a bug but a feature - there is a System
property "mail.mime.encodefilename" (see
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/javadocs/javax/mail/internet/package-summary.html).
If set to "true" the property triggers an optional MIME encoding of the
attachment name if it contains non-ASCII characters which in turn violates the
MIME specification. Basically MimeUtility.encodeText(text, charset, encoding)
is applied to the attachment name.
I provided a test (EmailLiveTest.testCorrectCharacterEncoding) to demonstrate
the problem.

> I have a file located in my pc localy and i send it as an attachment from
> multipart mail..sending and attaching works good and file can be opened from
> mail account..The problem is with the filename for example the file is : "Το
> εγγραφό μου.doc" ("My document.doc") and the result in attached file is
> something
> like this: ΐ±ΐ±ΑΉ± Ό±½ΔΏ.doc
> if filename is in english i dont have problems..but for my business is
> essential to have attached documents with greek characters (i tried UTF-*8 as
> charset for multipart mail and greek iso charset as well but the problem
> remains...)
