Attach: pseudoheader doesn't work with files with spaces

[edgewood]

I'm running into problems with using the Attach: pseudoheader with files with spaces in their names.

If I try attach a file named 'space test.txt' using "Attach: space test.txt", mutt replies "space: unable to attach file".

If I use "Attach: space\ test.txt", mutt replies "space\: unable to attach file". I've also tried "Attach: 'space test.txt'" and the same with double quotes, with similar error messages.

Mutt's manual indicates that the Attach: pseudoheader allows a file name optionally followed by a space and a description, and the error message leads me to believe that mutt assumes that any space after the start of the filename is the description delimiter.

I have created an experimental patch for that issue. My C-skills are rusty, but it seems to work for me. This patch is against 1.5.18.

There seems to be a missing semicolon between the lines "*q='\0'" and "q-=leng;" (listed as lines 184 and 185 at < http://dev.mutt.org/trac/attachment/ticket/3179/fix_attach_patch.diff>)

Adding the semicolon manually at the end of line 184 allows the patch to compile, and once compiled, the patch works as expected.
