Re: 28 character file name limit for binhex encode SMTP_attachments?
Yes. This is a long-standing problem with 4D internet commands. It goes back to at least v6. I know it’s still present in v13 for sure, and you are confirming it’s in v16.4R4. If I remember, I think it may also be limited to 256 total characters in the full path on Windows (maybe Mac too), so you have to be careful of files that are buried several folders deep. This is one of the issues I’m hoping the SMTP Transporter in v18 does not have a problem with.

That has been around a while. You also have to worry about the ‘.b64’ added at
the end. Here’s how I handle it.
$err:=IT_Encode
($AttachmentArrayPtr->{$x};vEncodedAttachment;$EncodingNumber) //<< Encode
the file here 3/6/07
//
If (($Err=-37) | ($Err=-1411) | ($Err=10083))
// File name too long 9/30/11
//
$Path:="" // 5/17/10
$FileName:=$AttachmentArrayPtr->{$x}
// 5/17/10
$Extension:="" // 5/17/10
//
Repeat // 5/17/10
$y:=Position(Folder
separator;$FileName) // 2/22/19
If ($y#0) // 5/17/10
$Path:=$Path+Substring($FileName;1;$y) // 5/17/10
$FileName:=Substring($FileName;$y+1) // 5/17/10
End if // 5/17/10
Until ($y=0) // 5/17/10
//
$y:=Length($FileName) // 5/17/10
While ($y>=2) // 5/17/10
If
(Substring($FileName;$y;1)=".") // Found dot 5/17/10
$Extension:=Substring($FileName;$y) // 5/17/10
$FileName:=Substring($FileName;1;$y-1) // 5/17/10
$y:=0 // 5/17/10
Else // 5/17/10
$y:=$y-1 // 5/17/10
End if // 5/17/10
End while // 5/17/10
//
$FileName:=Substring($FileName;1;22)
// Can olnly have 22 characters in file name to leave room for encoded file
extension 5/17/10
$ShortName:=$Path+$FileName+$Extension
// 5/17/10
//
If (Test path name($ShortName)=1) //
Document already exists 5/13/09
DELETE DOCUMENT($ShortName) //
Delete document 5/13/09
End if // 5/13/09
//
MOVE
DOCUMENT($AttachmentArrayPtr->{$x};$ShortName) // Make name smaller 10/2/08
$AttachmentArrayPtr->{$x}:=$ShortName
// 10/2/08
//
$err:=IT_Encode
($AttachmentArrayPtr->{$x};vEncodedAttachment;$EncodingNumber) // Re-encode
the file 10/2/08
//
DELETE DOCUMENT($ShortName) // Delete
document 6/20/11
//
End if // 10/2/08
