Virus report and german umlaut

Hi,

I got an error while sending an attachement with a "double" filename
extension. This is correct as mailscanner is configured to check and
disinfect this.

But, the filename showen in the report is somehow confusing as it is not
the real name of the file:

Report: Achtung: MailScanner: Attempt to hide real filename extension
(Basiskurs Einf.pdf)

The realname is

Basiskurs Einführung IT 2009 - 2010.key.pdf

So there is may be a problem with the german umlaut.

Bug? Feature? or misconfiguration?

mailscanner-4.78.17-1
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)
perl-5.8.8-27.el5


Thanks an best regards,

	Götz
