It seems as if windows clients (IE) submit filenames with backslash as directory separator. (no surprise :-). But the attachment plugin translates these backslashes to underscore, making the whole path a filename. > As far as I can see, that just means that the file will be saved with > a filename something like `c:__92__My_Documents__92__somefile`. > I don't see any "does not work" here.

[[done]] --[[Joey]] This little hack fixed the backslash problem, although I wonder if that really is the problem? (Everything works perfectly from linux clients of course. :-) sub basename ($) { my $file=shift; $file=~s!.*/+!!; $file=~s!.*\\+!!; return $file; } Should probably be `$file=~s!.*[/\\]+!!` :-)
