There is nothing particularly bizarre about attachments whose name contains  
a space. How well it gets handled depends entirely upon what you use to read  
email. There are several different MIME attributes that different email  
software may consider when deciding what is the "name" of an attachment, so  
its entirely possible that you will get completely different results with  
different software.
