The fact the Latin-1 text turns partly to black diamonds is
irrelevant to the issue with the attachment file names.  It is like
that because SeaMonkey hasn't detected/guessed the encoding of that
particular file and hasn't included encoding information.  SeaMonkey
has encoded it as Base64 binary so it gets sent unchanged - if you
save the file you could open it whatever you like (whatever encoding
is needed).

I've just tried using SeaMonkey 1.1.18 and indeed it seems to mangle
all file name characters not found in the default system encoding.
On my system which uses Bulgarian regional settings, including for
"Language for non-Unicode programs", the Cyrillic name got
preserved, the Latin accented characters got converted to their
nearest ASCII alike and the Chinese characters got substituted by
underscores.

May be it is time for you to upgrade.
