[imp] Problem downloading attachments with spaces in names(only with Netscape/Firebird)

[Tim Meader]

Yes, this is a problem with the way in which IMP handles file attachments. 
I actually opened a bug in Mozilla (ie - Netscape 6+) about this. It seems 
that the Mozilla guys recently changed the way in which any Mozilla after 
1.4 parses the "Content-xxxxxxx" headers. This isn't a Mozilla bug though, 
as the way they do it now is actually the way it should have been all 
along. What they changed was that they now require anything after a 
Content-xxxxxx header to be in quotes if it has spaces in the name. In 
particular, the Content-Disposition headers that IMP doles out don't have 
double quotes around the part after "name=". What I did was change the file 
horde/lib/MIME/Part.php where it has Content-Disposition to be:

$headers['Content-Disposition'] = $this->disposition . '; filename="' . 
$this->name . '"';

The files horde/lib/Browser.php and Data.php where they have 
Content-Disposition basically change anyplace that has filename='.$filename 
to be filename="'.$filename.'"'

Do the same thing for the file horde/imp/lib/Browser.php.

I would submit a patch for this, but not exactly sure how. Hopefully one of 
the developers can make these few changes real quick to the RELENG CVS for 
the next release. Because this is a BIG issue for anything after Mozilla 
1.4. Thus Netscape 7.1 and .2 are fine... but Mozilla 1.5 and Firebird 0.7 
are having this problem, and ALL future Mozilla releases as they said they 
are NOT changing the parsing code back.

The "bug" in reference to this is:
