> As you can see, there is no * after 'name' and 'filename'.

The * is actually needed, see http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2231.txt, section 4
("Parameter Value Character Set and Language Information").

GMail actually uses an illegal encoding which is not allowed in that place, but
since Outlook does the same, KMail has support for reading this, and also an
option "Outlook-compatible attachment naming" in the composer settings for
sending mails.

However, the filename "tükörfúrógép::??ÁRVÍZTŰRŐ
TÜKÖRFÚRÓGÉP!!%&.odt" indeed seems to get corrupted, I'll have a look.
