Attachment with certain characters can't download through MAPI
Problem reported by Speednet - 10/8/2020 at 2:31 PM

Someone sent me a Word document with a filename containing "smart" quotes (where the left and right quote characters are slanted).  The attachment showed up in the webmail interface, but when I viewed the e-mail in Outlook connected through MAPI, the e-mail showed a paperclip (meaning there was an attachment), but the attachment did not show up in the main e-mail display in order to open it.

I verified that the smart quotes were the issue -- the person renamed the file without the characters and resent it, and I could see everything just fine in Outlook.

@Speednet: Would be better ir you open a support-ticket for your MAPI-attachment-filename-issue.
and mention the SmarterMail build number you are running 

Our employees have to deal with attachments not showing up in Outlook 2019/MAPI
(EAS and EWS is Wirkung/showing attachments).

Need to analyze what filenames/Special Charakters are affected and probably open a Support-Ticket, too. (running custom build 7579 here)

Makes sense Thomas, I'll open a support ticket, thanks.  (I'm running build 7573.)
