Truncated long file name in attachment causes problem for Eudora
Hi All,
Recently we deployed mailman V2.1.5 for our university, however we are experiencing some teething problems with attachment.
An attachment with space in the long file name (45+) will lose it's file extension due to wrapping in the mailman has caused Eudora clients NOT able to open the attachment properly while Outlook always looks for the last dot in the long file name and pose no problem in this issue. Can anyone have similar experience or solution please give us some help.

Mailman doesn't re-wrap messages. If you're having problems with attachments, this seems more likely to be an issue with Eudora, not Mailman.
