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 It has been replaced by ATT.DOC .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 ;-) -- Fabrice
