Hello all, I do hope I am in the right place for some help! I am working on a project = that requires email attachments to be extracted to the file system. All was= working great until one of our kind testers tried with normal and simplifi= ed Chinese; where I ended up with files of the name ?????.txt. Am using the module MIME::Parser to extract the files and after some great = help from the developer I have realized that one need to override a method = in MIME::Parser::Filer so that the correct file names are generated. One of the attachments in the test email is show below: 360=E6=96=B0=E9=97=BB=E7=9B=91=E6=B5=8B-12-01-Chi Simp.txt I have tried to use MIME::EncWords and MIME::Charset to extract the correct= name from the MIME entity using: my $fname =3D decode_mimewords($head->recommended_filename); but this still does not work :( so I tried to compare what the file name lo= oks like with the LANG with/and without UTF8 With LANG en_GB.UTF8 360=E6=96=B0=E9=97=BB=E7=9B=91=E6=B5=8B-12-01-Chi Simp.txt With LANG en_GB 360=EF=BF=BD?=EF=BF=BD=EF=BF=BD?=EF=BF=BD=EF=BF=BD??=EF=BF=BD=EF=BF=BD?-12-= 01-Chi Simp.txt Now this is what happens when I extract the file with my new method: With LANG en_GB 360=EF=BF=BD=EF=BF=BD=EF=BF=BD=C5=BC=EF=BF=BD=EF=BF=BD=EF=BF=BD-12-01-Chi S= imp.txt With LANG en_GB.UTF8 360???=C5=BC???-12-01-Chi Simp.txt The MIME file name appears as ?gb2312?B?MzYw0MLChLFPnHktMTItMDEtQ2hpIFRyYWQ= udHh0?=3D This is not may area of expertise so reaching out to you for some help. How= can one extract the file name from an email and have it reflect its really= Chinese name ? Hope this make sense! -- Thanks, Phil
