It looks like maybe the argument list for openAttachment() is malformed because
the apostrophe in the last arg is not escaped.

worksforme on 2002071508/win2k. Except for the inability to delete the folder
but that's another bug.

Marking as wfm. Christofer, reopen this bug if you see the issue with more
