Effenberg0x0, discussion kept on upstream until July, when it sort of
fizzled.

All: it is not Evolution in error, but the rest of the world ;-).

I know, I know... just a joke (could not resist). Evolution is doing the
Right Thing (TM), but Microsoft (and, per Milan upstream, pretty much
all other servers he could hit) are not. The format Evolution is using
*should* be accepted by others.

But it is not. So... disaster.

I strongly suggest that all of you go upstream and -- nicely, please! --
tell them you are having problems. Milan is even willing (or so it
seems) to fix it, but not many users complained about it so far. It may
be due to the fact that we strive very hard to be at the bleeding edge,
while most other distributions are still with Evo 2.22 or older.


** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: evolution
  
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -a
  Linux effenberg-mobile 2.6.24-12-generic #1 SMP Wed Mar 12 23:01:54 UTC 2008 
i686 GNU/Linux
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ evolution --version
  GNOME evolution 2.22.0
  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 
  
  Attachments sent from Evolution to WIndows boxes using Outlook or
  Outlook Express are converted to ATT<number>.dat files, if the letter
  "ç" is used in the attached file name. This is fully reproducible here,
  in all our machines running fully updated Hardy. This problem persists
  for at least two weeks now.
  
  -ç.xls, ç.doc, ç.ppt, ç.pdf, ç.gif, etc are received as ATT<number>.dat.
  -c.xls, c.doc, c.ppt, c.pdf, c.gif, etc are received normally.
  
  I have not extensively tested this with other letters peculiar of the
  Brazilian Portuguese language, such as áéíóú, à, ã, âêô and ü, but since
  it dosn't support "ç", there may be problems with using this letters
  too.
  
  Regards,
  Effenberg

+ WORKAROUND:
+ 
+ Use standard ASCII characters for the attachment file name. Do not add
+ special characters (including space). I am not sure how this would work
+ on Kanji, and others, though. A test would be appreciated.
+ 
+ It sucks. Please do not hit the messenger.
+ 
+ LAST VERSION TESTED:
+  Evolution Intrepid 2.24.1-0ubuntu2.
+ Evolution 2.25 SVN.
