Matteo,

Just rename the file without special characters or spaces and then send the
file.  It shouldn't get garbled then.  (ie if the file is called This is a
test.xls, just rename it test.xls and try it again.)  Also, the file
attachment is in tact.  Even with the ATT0000111.dat filename.  You can just
rename it to the original filename and it will open and function correctly
last I checked.

Thanks,
Steve

Not true. Only broken clients (such as Microsoft Outlook, I believe is 
the most notorious) give you this problem.

My favored client (Mail on Mac OS X) works like a charm when receiving 
files sent via sqwebmail -- properly recognizing the filenames they had 
-- and for that matter, sqwebmail sees the filenames which Mail sent 
just as well as the other direction.

All the "good" clients should do the same thing.
