Thanks for the reply, I've now read that discussion.

First:

If anyone with a Far Eastern Code Page (Japanese,Chinese,Korean) is on this
list, please send an example of how the attachment filenames in your local
code page are send in MIME.
Its for your own good :)

It should look something like this: (specificaly the name and the filename
fields)

------=_NextPart_000_0032_01C53787.386D0A70
Content-Type: video/x-ms-wmv;
        name="=?windows-1255?B?4ePp9+Qud212?="
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: attachment;
        filename="=?windows-1255?B?4ePp9+Qud212?="

Second:

It seems that in single byte encodings and utf8 (everything except unicode
and far eastern)
one would simply take the "4ePp9+Qud212" from the filename
"=?windows-1255?B?4ePp9+Qud212?="
and open the base64 encoding, without regard to the code page.

In my case it would be: בדיקה.wmv

The extention is the only thing which is scanned so the other characters are
not important.

The extention is always in plain ascii 7 , there is no specific "local
extentions".

In case of multi byte encoding there is a need to filter out only the ascii
characters and run perlscan on the. I.E. in some way discard or replace all
the non ASCII characters. This seems to much more complicated. I am not sure
there is a package for perl to work with Windows Code Pages.

Jason,
In your post on this issue (2 months ago),
you said that you require feedback. Can I be of assistance?

Hi,

there has been a discussion perhaps two months ago. Try search the archives
for
base64
