It seems as if windows clients (IE) submit filenames with backslash as directory separator. (no surprise :-).

But the attachment plugin translates these backslashes to underscore, making the whole path a filename.

As far as I can see, that just means that the file will be saved with a filename something like c:__92__My_Documents__92__somefile. I don't see any "does not work" here. Error message?

Still, I don't mind adding a special case, though obviously not in basename. [[done]] --[[Joey]]

This little hack fixed the backslash problem, although I wonder if that really is the problem? (Everything works perfectly from linux clients of course. :-)

sub basename ($) {
	my $file=shift;

	$file=~s!.*/+!!;
	$file=~s!.*\\+!!;
	return $file;
}

Should probably be $file=~s!.*[/\\]+!! :-)
