On a US W2K system with the default locale set to Ja, a file can have a filename
containing accented latin-1 characters, this kind of filenames can be displayed
correctly on Explorer even with the default locale set to Japanese. But when
attaching this kind of files to a mail, the filename will be "converted" to
normal ascii filename, for example, têst.html will become test.html, sending of
the mail will fail because of this.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Have a US W2K system with the default locale set to Japanese.
2. Have a file with a filename containing accented latin-1 chars on the disk,
like têst.html
3. Open a mail compose window, attach the file to the mail, after you select the
file from the file dialog window, the filename will show as test.html on the
attachment list.
4. Click on Send, the sending fails complaining that "Unable to open the
temporary file c:....\test.html. Check your 'Temporary Directory' setting.
Since the system supports this type of filenames, we should be able to handle
this as well.

Having the same problem:
send email with special characters in attachment file name fails: "unable to open the temporary file"
This bug has been reported for ubuntu under the number #201655 and marked as resolved.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozilla-thunderbird/+bug/201655
However, it is not resolved in Vista 32, Thuderbird Version 2.0.0.22 yet.
I tried to attach a picture with a special character in the file name (small i trema, means a i with two dots: ' ï '.
I got the very same error:
"unable to open the temporary file"
removing the special character in the file name worked, however in the era of Unicode, this should not be an issue anymore.
reading the comment above, actually I also have default locale set to Japanese.
However I doubt this is the problem...
P.S. Attaching the file to the mail works well and the file name is displayed correctly with all correct characters. I can successfully open the file by double click on the attachment as well.
However, when clicking on send, I get the error message box stating that it was "unable to open the temporary file"
