Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.9-2
Severity: normal
Tags: security

I just saved an attachment by the name

=?ISO-8859-15?Q?=DCberraschung=2Ezip?= 

as it was received due to (improper?) encoding. The message ended up
not in my pwd, but in $MAIL/?ISO-8859-15?Q?=DCberraschung=2Ezip?=

Being uncautious one could be tricked into overwriting mail folders.
I'm not sure if the = -> $MAIL expansion is desired in the attachment
menu at all (I don't think so), but it should for sure not be used with
filenames supplied by remote parties.
