I am really enjoying the ability added in VM-7.18 that launches
attachments under their actual file name as opposed to just using a
random temp file name.

However, I have noticed that files with spaces in them fail to launch
properly, though the file itself is detached to the temp directory under the
proper full file name.

I imagine that this is probably due to file names not being properly
quoted to preserve spaces and other such non-alphanumeric characters.

Any thoughts where source of error is and how to fix?

Jeff
