file attachments are coverted to different formats
January 08, 2010, 09:03:47 am
When I attach any files to an email in CiviCRM, the file gets converted to a file that is not a recognizable format.  For example, hendricks.pdf gets converted to hendricks_103dd025473cdafcba060d3f2d86338epdf.   I did not have this problem before I upgraded to 3.0.3.

I saw a similar post on this - http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=7118.0, but it sounds like it got resolved 2.2.1.  So I am not sure if it is approriate to apply a patch from an earlier version.  I can't find any issues in 3.0.3 on this either.

How do I fix this?   ???

I think CiviCRM rename uploaded files due to security reasons.

Do we then need to change some security settings on our end, or is Civicrm permanently going to be doing this from now on?

there was a bug in the code, the file should have been renamed to:

hendricks_103dd025473cdafcba060d3f2d86338e.pdf

i fixed it for 3.0 and this will be part of the next release

the diff is here:
