Hi,
I have made a patch for MIME::Tools which causes it to recognize things
like:
Content-Type: audio/x-wav; name=foo[1].pif
whereas ordinarily it would require:
Content-Type: audio/x-wav; name="foo[1].pif"
Please note that the first line is NOT MIME COMPLIANT. Therefore, the
MIME::Tools author could legitimately argue that it's an error to
accept the name as "foo[1].pif". However, it seems to me that in the
interest of safety, MIMEDefang should do what most MUA's are likely to
do.
The patch is linked from http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/
(near the download section) and should be applied to MIME::Tools 5.411a.
I think this will fix the problems another poster was having with
8-bit characters in unquoted filenames.
Regards,
David.
