    Illegal encoding, explicitly prohibited by RFC 2047. Attachment
filenames have to use another encoding: RFC 2231. But you still can
persuade Mutt to decode this, by setting $rfc2047_parameters.

    RFC violation should be reported to the sender software. What is it?
Microsoft Outlook [Express]?

    I vaguely seem to recall from previous discussions that this is a
desired expansion.

    Some sanitizing might be good, right. There is already bug #1719
opened upstream since a long time about "attachments with =names stored
in $folder by default". Clearly said: Fixing this seems not to be seen
as an absolute priority.

    Do you want me to add you to the Notify-List of #1719?


Bye!    Alain.
