Gmail’s web interface doesn’t support attachments with long filenames.
How to reproduce this bug:
1, Create a new file whose name is this-is-a-file-with-a-very-very-long-filename.txt
2, Log in to your Gmail web interface
3, Click “Compose Mail”, fill in any receiver and subject
4, Click “add an attachment”.
5, Click the browser button, and select the file “this-is-a-file-with-a-very-very-long-filename.txt” we have created in step 1.
6, Write some text in the body field, and click the send button.
7, Wait a moment, and your mail will be sent without the attachment. No error message will appear.
If Gmail’s web interface doesn’t plan to support attachments with long file names, it should alter the users. However, currently no error message will appear. This may confuse users.
Gmail itself support long filenamed attachments (at least using Evolution to send and receive gmails with long filenamed attachments works).
Already report this issue to Google (with its broken bug report system).
