           Summary: Attachments with accentuated characters in their file
                    names are automatically renamed "attachment.bin"
           Product: kmail2

          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
First of all, I could not select my Kmail version as it was not is the list. My
version is 5.16.3.
My files often contain accentuated characters in their names (I am french and
this is a very common situation for us). When I attach such files in an email,
the recipients always receive renamed files "attachment.bin".
I reproduce the issue with PDF, images and plain text files (I did not test
with other file types but it does not seem to be related to the mime types),
and with or without white spaces in the file names.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the "New message" window.
2. Add one or several attachments with accentuated characters in their file
names (i.e. "test é.txt" or "voyage-à-paris.png").
3. Send the email to yourself.

OBSERVED RESULT
Wait to receive the email, you should see that your files have been renamed
"attachment.bin".

EXPECTED RESULT
The attached files should keep their original file names with their extensions.
