User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.1) Gecko/20040707 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.1) Gecko/20040707 When draggin and dropping an attachment with accents in the name (like tést.asf) to a DivX player (already opened), it don't open - message in Mail window : " Unable to save attachment. Please check your file name and try again later. " Then the Download Manager (automatically opened) stay with just a 'C:' in the name place. And when I try to drop it in the Windows Media Player window, the message pop as well, but the window freeze - in fact, then all of the Mozilla's windows freeze (mail and navigator) ... after a while, closing WMP and some Mozilla windows, the mail run again, and I can press OK in the message. In this week, after doing it, Mozilla crashed and one report was sent automatically - probably is here somewhere between 07/19 and 07/20. Odd thing, it save the attachment ok, it just happend when I drag and drop it, and when the attachment name have an accent. One last thing: when using drag and drop, the attachment is saved to the root directory (C:\ ) instead of the temporary directory (C:\temp, or C:\windows\temp) set in Mail. I'll open other report to this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. receive an email with an attachment, the attachmet name must have a accent (like tést.avi) 2. open the email 3. open a player, DivX player or WMP 4. drag and drop the attachment to the player Actual Results: Using the DivX player, a message in the Mail window : " Unable to save attachment. Please check your file name and try again later. " Using WMP, the same message, and Mozilla's windows freeze. Expected Results: Opened / played the attachment in the player, just like it do when I click twice in the attachment. In this week, after doing all this, Mozilla crashed and one report was sent automatically - probably is here somewhere between 07/19 and 07/20.
