Hello,
I encounter a problem opening a MIME attachment with an external
viewer with emacs 29.1 (Gnus v5.13) on Windows (I had the same problem
with version 28.1). Problem occurs when the filename has characters
other than 7-bit ASCII. I have not found any trace of this problem,
which surprises me.
Content-Type is defined as follows:
Content-Type: message/external-body;
name="c:/somedirs/XXX =?iso-8859-1?Q?R=E9<snipped>";
access-type=LOCAL-FILE
The viewer is launched in mm-display-external by start-process with
following args:
- path to cmdproxy.exe
- -c
- path to the viewer exe and the attachment filename encoded in
iso-8859-1
The viewer fails to open the file. The parameter received by the
viewer is not encoded in iso-8859-1: 0x160 for è, 0x201A for é, ... It
appears the problem disappear when I set coding-system-for-write to
buffer-file-coding-system before calling start-process but I am not
sure this is the correct fix.
