[issue39040] Wrong attachement filename when mail mime header was too long

[Manfred Kaiser]

Manfred Kaiser <manfred.kaiser at logfile.at> added the comment:

as you mentioned, rfc-2047 forbidds encoded words in quoted strings.

Source: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2047 - Chapter 5/3

I have tested a few web mail clients and they have the same issue. According to the RFCs, this is not allowed, but I think it is widely used.

Should we fix this problem?
