Email attachments fail if ";" is in filename
Mar 5^th, 2007 at 4:33am

My fax software (brother) produces tif files with the date and time... these aren't sent by the email plugin correctly as it appears the ";" character in the filename messes it up.

Workaround is to use the beta rename plugin to rename the file and then email of course, but the email plugin should be able to send all filenames.

Thx -- ken

I will fix this in the next few days. Thanks for reporting this. Gert
