We've been having terrible trouble at my institution with filesnames because
we use lots of different versions of IE.  I actually read the RFC and found
that using quotes was in fact breaking the rules, but what is interesting is
how Hotmail does it.  Hotmail actually removes spaces in the filename (which
is another way of solving the problem), but it also puts quotes around the
filename.  Some of the headers are sent in a different order too which
confuses matters, but heck, it seems to work with IE.

Another point of interest is that IE 6 on Windows XP works differently to IE
6 on all other platforms with it's handling of files.  As a rule, until a
certain patch was released (I'm not sure which one there are so many) IE 6
randomly crashes on XP with "attachments".  Fortunately whatever patch we
are on now has actually solved that problem.
