Outlook is broken. In KMail we have the special setting 
"Outlook-compatible attachment naming" which when enabled makes KMail 
put the name of the attachment in such a way in the message such that 
Outlook understands the attachment name. Unfortunately, this 
Outlook-compatible attachment naming is not compatible with RFC 2231 
(which updates RFC 1806 mentioned by Torsten). Thunderbird probably 
(correctly) encodes the attachment names according to RFC 2231.
