When I open an email that has an attachment where the filename contains special characters or umlauts, the filename is not displayed in n8n. Is this error known?
Hi @Markus08 
What version of n8n are you running? It looks like this should have been fixed about a month ago (in 1.2.1), so can you try to update n8n to the latest version if you haven’t already? 
Version: 1.8.2
I just did another update and tested it again. It does not work. Do I need to recreate the workflow perhaps? Or rebuild the trigger there? I know this from other bugs. If the trigger or the node is from an old version, after an update the old node is not changed. Can this be?
Hi @Markus08 Yep, that would also be the case here - can you give that a try?
Hello, I have tried it. The bug is still present.
I have created a completely new workflow for testing and inserted only the Email IMAP Trigger Node. As soon as special characters or (Ä;Ö;Ü,ä,ö,ü - Characters) are contained in the file name, the file name is not displayed in the node execution and therefore cannot be processed. It is definitely a bug.
Ack, just tested there - it looks like it’s back for some reason 
The same workaround as before still works now - if you use “Resolved” instead of “Simple” under the Format option, the attachment name will still come through correctly:
I’ll let the team know that this is happening again
ok, thank you. This works well.
