Hello,

thunderbird has a problem with Umlaute "öäüßÖÄÜ" in filenames when sending them from OpenOffice.
Doing the same steps with a plain ASCII named file it works without problems.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. OpenOffice.org 2.4 -> Extras -> Options -> Internet -> E-Mail -> Enter thunderbird or "/usr/bin/thunderbird" -> OK
2. start/edit/open any file you want and save it with an Umlaut in the filename ex "ä.odt" (or .doc)
3. in OOo -> File -> Send -> Document as email
4. Thunderbird opens a new email with the attachment "ä.odt"
5. Enter Recipient and then send
Actual Results:
You will get the error:

"Sending message failed. Temporary file /tmp/sv1g1.tmp/sv1g3.tmp/filename ä.odt could not be opened. Check your settings for "Temporary folder".

Expected Results:
the email will be send like files with just ASCII characters.

I tested evolution to check if its a problem of OOo and with evolution as mailer there is no problem (just "evolution" without any option) with Umlaut filenames of attachments.
Adding and sending Umlaut filenames directly with Thunderbird has no problems.

The file Thunderbird wants to send from the temporary directory is there, readable and correct.
