I do not even get to that I get a window that ask me if I want to save the thing
to disk. I get that sort of thing at the CLI but I am using a browser
to read mail
and I get these file attachements that have spaces in the file names. When I
click on it firefox ask if I want to save it to disk and it only shows
the first word
of the name string of the file.
