Yeah, this is badly applied header folding. You can circumvent it by encoding the filename parameter according to <http://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2184.txt> Note that parameter continuation ala filename*1="..."; filename*2="...." is not really supported by MUAs, but support for filename*="..." seems to be a /bit/ better. nd -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
