Wrong filename of BASE64 file inside MIME attachment

Dear Michael,

you are right. The space might exist in Windows filename. After I started to investigate this, space disappeared.

thank you

Dears,

 Why there is a trailing space for files with short extension? The unexpected space corrupts other mail clients.

 Is there any way how to workaround this defect?

> I now remember why it failed: when I saved the attachment to disk it was saved as 'configure.in ' with a trailing SPACE! This is the introduction to the BASE64 encoded stream in your eMail:

  --Message-Boundary-22268
  Content-type: Application/Octet-stream; name="configure.in "; type=Unknown
  Content-disposition: attachment; filename="configure.in "
  Content-transfer-encoding: BASE64

 

But this looks just fine:

--Message-Boundary-26708
 Content-type: Application/Octet-stream; name="cptran.h"; type=Program-source
 Content-disposition: attachment; filename="cptran.h"

What makes you believe Pegasus Mail did this? Don't you think this would have been reported more than just once in the past 10 years if Pegasus Mail was causing it? Unless you can duplicate this issue with a detailed step-by-step description I strongly doubt this being a Pegasus Mail issue ...
