Folks,
I use firefox for some e-mail funtions, at times I am sent company attachments,
these things have spaces in them and when I try to open them the browser
wants to save them because it does not recognize anything beyond the first
space. Is there a work around beyond saving them and then re-naming
them, replacing the spaces with dashes or underscores. I just would like to
be able click and read. I just got a big document from the head honcho and
in order read the thing I had to save it, get rid of the spaces then read it.
I guess I could have put double quotes around it to save it with spaces and
all, but when you try to open a attachment if there is a space it only gives
you the option to save it as it tells you it is a 'bin' file.
