I use Simple MAPI to send e-mails with file attachements

I have a probleme with accentuated caracteres in the attachement file name
but not in the subject and the body.

For example:

If the subject is: "R�gis"
In my e-mail client I see "R�gis" in the subject

That is OK.

If the the body is: "R�gis"
In my e-mail client I see "R�gis" in the body

That is also OK.

But if the file that I attache is "R�gis.txt"
The file is sended without problem but the file name become "Rigis.txt"

"i" is what you get if you mask "�" with 0x7f
It looks like the MAPI only use 7bits for the characteres in the file name.

I have tryed to convert "�" to "&eacute" but I receive "&eacute" and not "�"
I also tryed UTF-8 and wchars but without luck.

If I manualy use the client to send "R�gis.txt", I get "R�gis.txt" so it is
not a limitation of SMTP.

(For my tests, I use Outlook Express as e-mail client)

Any advice?

Thanks
