Hey , I did some testing and I noticed that from web mail when attached it seems that if the attachment name is a certain amount of characters (long like 21 or more) could be a little less when it is sent and the receiver gets the mail the attachment name is changed to ATT**** ( the *** represent numbers). Is there any way to change this so that attachments come in as there name or is this supposed to happen. Thanks for your help.

Has anyone seen this? Thanks for your > help. Yep it's seen (search the list archives), but it's almost certainly a client issue at the receiving end. Sqwebmail encodes filenames which contain odd characters like spaces using a standard encoding method defined in RFCs, but which not all MUAs understand. I suggest you send one of these mails to a mailbox somewhere, then retrieve it: either using telnet like this $ script foo.txt $ telnet x.x.x.x 110 user username pass password retr 1 quit $ exit $ Or if you have access to the Maildir where it's stored, then copy the file from Maildir/cur/xxxxxxx and gzip it. Then you can paste it onto a message to this list, and we can tell you if the MIME headers are correct (Content-Disposition ??), in which case it's the receiving MUA which is at fault. Regards, Brian.
