Attachment's name is wrong decoded if norwegian letters are used

Question

I have this piece of code which creates an attachment and sends email. If name of the file contains æ, ø or æ, the name is totally destroyed.

If I remove norwegian letters, everything is ok

        var stream = new MemoryStream();
        doc.Save(stream, SaveFormat.Docx);

        mail.From = new MailAddress("[email protected]");
        mail.To.Add("[email protected]");
        mail.IsBodyHtml = true;
        mail.Subject = "Attachments test";
        mail.Body = "Hei,<br /><br />";
        stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);

        var attachment = new Attachment(stream, "Name Å Æ Ø.docx", "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document");
        attachment.NameEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
        mail.Attachments.Add(attachment);
        var smtp = new SmtpClient("smtp.server.com") {Port = 25};
        smtp.Send(mail);

How to get this work properly?

Is mail a MailMessage? If so, could you check if all "encoding" properties, like BodyEncoding, HeadersEncoding and so on, have the same value? – Centenary

All these parameters are UTF8 > mail.SubjectEncoding = Encoding.UTF8; mail.BodyEncoding = Encoding.UTF8; mail.HeadersEncoding = Encoding.UTF8; It does not help. – Auden

Answer 2

Try changing attachment.NameEncoding = Encoding.UTF8; to attachment.NameEncoding = Encoding.Unicode;.

I have tried all Encodings. If I use Unicode name like this =utf-16MUAByg8........ is coming up. – Auden
