Mime types and attached files

[Fabrice Popineau <Fabrice.Popineau@supelec.fr>]

I have send an email with an msword (sorry!) file attached. The file
name has non ascii chars and it was sent using these lines:

--=-=-=
Content-Type: application/msword
Content-Disposition: attachment;
 filename*=iso-8859-1''IIC%20p79%20%e0%2089%20-%202005.DOC
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

It seems to me that it is valid according to rfc 2183/2184. I just wonder
about the empty '' (could be 'fr' instead, but don't know where
to change that).

However, the file has been received on an xp box using outlook 2003 and
the filename has not been restored properly. It has been replaced by
ATT<some number>.DOC . 

Outlook maybe broken, but is there a way to get around the problem ?

Slightly related. I had to add these lines:

(add-to-list 'mailcap-mime-extensions
	     '(".doc" . "application/msword"))
(add-to-list 'mailcap-mime-extensions
	     '(".ppt" . "application/mspowerpoint"))

to be able to send msword/mspowerpoint files tagged with something else
than octet-stream ;-)
