User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

I use Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5 for reading my webmail. If I open a
mail message which has an attachment, I click on the filename to ask Mozilla to
download the file. If I ask for Save to disc, the file is transferred to my
Desktop as expected. This is fine if the filename has no spaces, but otherwise
the name is trunctated to the first space. Example 1: "a.dat" is saved ok under
the name a.dat. Example 2: "a b.dat" is saved as "a". Most irritating since the
file extension and part of the name are all lost!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log onto a web server using Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
2. Access a mail message with an attachment whose filename includes space(s)
3. Click on the filename and follow the dialog to save the file to disk

Actual Results:  
As described in Details, the filenames with spaces are truncated.

Expected Results:  
Saved the file under its full name, including spaces where applicable
Please test a Nightly build because the Gecko in FF1.0.X is to old to report
bugs (12+ months old).

Create a http log from this nightly and attach it because there is no public URL
if it still happens in the nightly build.

"create new attachment" link in this bug to attach it, don't post it)
