If they are non-unicode, then there will be no hints as to what
character set the file names are actually in - and I suspect (although I
don't know and haven't looked) that the MIME standard will say that the
filenames have to be in 7-bit ascii.

What would you *want* Evo to do?  It can't really guess what charset the
names are (well it could, it's almost certainly a windows charset :-)) -
I suppose it could use the same charset as the body of the attachment,
but if it is non-readable content (like a document or image) then there
is no charset.

I suppose you could try altering the Evo charset (view -> character
encoding), but I doubt if it will change the rendering of the attachment
file names.

What happens when you save or view the file?  Unless you rename it, then
I suspect as well that it will be unusable on your Ubuntu system.
