Yes, most of Windoze mailers don't support RFC2231. Instead, they use the complacent RFC2047-like encoding. Gnus can decode both styles of encoded file names. That's good. However, I must evaluate the form[1] (defalias 'mail-header-encode-parameter 'rfc2047-encode-parameter) when sending files with Japanese names in business. That's very annoying, though I never want to make it the default (so, I restore it into `rfc2231-encode-string' after sending a mail). > Does Thunderbird understand RFC2231, for instance? Yes, it does. However, the encoder has a bug[2] in the released version. [1] (info "(emacs-mime)rfc2047") [2] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323318
