Subject: MIME::Head->recommended_filename returns empty result on some malformed headers

Hi, attached an file with 5 headers from file attachments where MIME::Head->recommended_filename returns an empty result. As far as I can see the headers are not correct quoted and encoded, so this is not your fault. But maybe there is an chance to get an workaround to help applications that use MIME::tools (in my case RT) to get the correct filename. In the first three header examples content-disposition.filename and content-type.name are enclosed by repeated double quotes and MIME::Field::ParamVal->parse failes to parse them. The content-description header has the correct filename and the correct quoting. In the fourth and fifth header example content-disposition.filename and content-type.name are empty. But as you see the content-description header has the correct filename and the correct quoting. As an workaround, if MIME::Head->recommended_filename fails, I parse the filename from the content-descrition header with MIME::Head->get('Content-Disposition'). RFC 2045 8. Content-Description Header Field The ability to associate some descriptive information with a given body is often desirable. For example, it may be useful to mark an "image" body as "a picture of the Space Shuttle Endeavor." Such text may be placed in the Content-Description header field. This header field is always optional. description := "Content-Description" ":" *text The description is presumed to be given in the US-ASCII character set, although the mechanism specified in RFC 2047 may be used for non-US-ASCII Content-Description values. Maybe it would be an option, if parsing content-disposition.filename and content-type.name fails, to parse the content-descrition header instead of returning an empty recommended_filename. The problematic header examples comes from an mail generated with MS Outlook (2007 or 2010) and all have German umlauts and comma in the filename. Thanks. Chris

Hi, today I discovered that when I send an attachment with comma and umlauts in the name with Mutt the content-disposition.filename value has also repeated double quotes. Chris
