question, is this a new problem in the april 7th builds or have you been seeing this for a while (i.e. since 0.5, etc.)

It's the first time I've encountered the problem, purely because it's the first time I've tried sending a file with a special character in its name. I'm running the standard release Febuary 0.5 build.

heh...I read 20040207 as 20040407 which is yesterday's build :) I think this has been fixed in the latest nightlies if you want to try it out. You can go back to 0.5 after testing if you don't want to live on the edge: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-trunk/

Dupe of bug 229872? Jo Shields, is this bug still a problem for you with current builds?
