CFMAIL - Unicode filename for attachments

[sbufe]

Hello again PaulH,
I am hoping you can give me some advice about this.
I have the charset attribute set to "utf-8". See attached code.
I've resolved my earlier issue about inserting (or replacing) text in the
unicode RTF doc, but the file name would be nice to have in Chinese as well.
Thanks,
Sierra

<CFMAIL TO="#FullName# <#Form.email#>"
FROM="Me <me@me.com>"
SUBJECT="Results for #Fullname#"
TYPE="HTML"
spoolEnable="no"
charset="#charset#">
<cfmailparam
file = "#new_file#"
type ="text/rtf"/>

while i haven't tried that w/RTF docs that technique certainly works w/other kinds of attachments. though it depends on the email client and i guess to some extent on their mail server.

Hi PaulH,
Still working on this. Please see attached snippet from the source of the
email, with attachment.
This is what happens if I send it out using utf-8 everywhere that I can put
it, but without doing anything to the chinese file name (like URLEncodedFormat).

Pertinent CF Source:

<cfset FullName = udata.NameLast & udata.NameFirst>
<cfset file_name = "Print_Description_#FullName#.rtf">

<!--- Where do I temporarily stick the new file? --->
<cfset new_file = "#docs_path#outfile\#file_name#">

<CFFILE ACTION="Write" FILE="#new_file#" OUTPUT="#rtf#" charset="utf-8"
nameconflict="overwrite">

<!--- Send Email w Attachment --->
<CFMAIL TO="#emailaddress#"
FROM="Print Survey Results <surveyresults@printsurvey.com>"
SUBJECT="Results for #FullName#"
TYPE="HTML"
TIMEOUT="30"
spoolEnable="no"
charset="utf-8">
<cfmailparam
file="#new_file#"
type="text/rtf; charset=utf-8">

Email Source:

Content-Type: text/rtf; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename*0*=utf-8''Print_Description_PAUL%20732%20;
filename*1*=%e4%bf%97%e8%af%ad%e8%af%b4;
filename*2=.rtf

[sbufe]

It arrives in my GMail with this file name:

utf-8''Print_Description_PAUL%20732%20

It is not recognized as a RTF doc, because only the first line of the source
filename is read, and it doesn't have an extension anymore.

Here is a sample of email source that DOES display Chinese chars in my GMail.
Sierra

Content-Type: text/plain;
name="=?gb2312?B?1tDOxMP7s8YudHh0?="
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="=?gb2312?B?1tDOxMP7s8YudHh0?="

When I use the name in the "type" attribute, and escape out the quotes to make
it match the previous email source sample, it comes through as that Chinese
file name, something-or-other.txt.
See attached CF code.
So, I wonder how I can manipulate that attribute to become what I need? I
don't even see ".txt" legible in it.

<cfmailparam
file="#new_file#"
type="text/rtf; name=""=?gb2312?B?1tDOxMP7s8YudHh0?=""">

not sure if that's an issue w/rtf files (i just tested again w/.txt, .doc files
using thai/arabic language names & these worked just fine) or something else
(that something else being your email client, what you say works is using
gb2312 not utf-8). if i get a chance i'll look into this some more over the
weekend.
