Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 7.1.1; Moto E (4) Build/NDQS26.69-64-5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/67.0.3396.81 Mobile Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Print an Amazon invoice to pdf 2. Send it as attachment email to uptime.org or other folks 3. Get a note that it looks like a .Com file or something What is the expected behavior? Note that the email vendors may have a regex that filters out .Com or .Exe or .Bat or .MSI and such... But it would be nice to have the filename be a nice one for email What went wrong? This really probably isn't in your preview and certainly isn't Chrome's fault. Amazon.com order-803212.pdf Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 67.0.3396.81 Channel: stable OS Version: 10 Flash Version: I think it's just the odd email settings or a bad regex... I think if they had the end of filename as part of regex it would be solved.. I just told them i'd post a bug here asking if there is a way to make filenames a bit nicer.

Trying to better understand what the issue is here. After step 1, what is the saved PDF file name? Is the suggested name of the file the issue because some email provider's email virus scanner does not like the name?

I gave the email host a link to this bug. I think they just filter out all extensions that have .com .msi .exe and .bat as as the end of a word... I really think you guys are fine... mostly want to show the email host that they need to update their regular expressions.. The filename was something like "amazon.com - order-42848585.pdf " I think it has something to do with spaces being part of the filename. I just think that it's a common use case to print an invoice to a pdf and send it to someone else for records keeping... Maybe you smart guys have other ideas for solutions... as it is I edited the filename just to send to the person who I needed to forward to.. even though it isn't convinient for my records... This is not an important bug... just informing you guys of an oddity in use. I'm fine with it being closed-not a bug or something like that.. I don't feel guilty filing a bug because it informs you guys of use cases... if you close it with a note saying, hey dumbass, you know it's not a bug so don't file it, then I'll scale back what I report.

As per C#4 this doesn't seem to be a Chrome specific issue. Hence, leaving this to thestig@ for further action and adding label TE-NeedsTriageHelp for further investigation. Thanks...!!

I don't think there's anything we can do about this. The email provider should try to do smarter filtering. |
