It seems to be a problem with the way the TB is handling the message once received that is causing the problems. Do you have your TB mail processed by an extra tool, spam filter, whatever that's leaving Outlook's mail alone? I have tried downloading the same messages with SpamPal disabled, with the same result, so that does not seem to be the source of the problem. As I said, I am not sure how far this is TB's fault, as it is probably a badly configured server at the other end that is causing the problems, be I don't think TB should be truncating the file names, particularly when other MUAs don't.

Attachment Name Problems
Hello TB! Users, I am having problems with attachments I am receiving. The attachment names are being truncated by TB at the first space in the file name so that The Full Filename.doc becomes The. The messages are fine if downloaded in Outlook - the problem only appears to affect this one organization (suggesting a misconfiguration somewhere), and only TB (which probably means that TB is handling the messages properly, and Outlook is not!). I think that this might be another Base64 problem, as the messages are encoded as Base64, whilst messages I have no problems with tend to be 7-bit. Has anyone else come across this?
