Using jul6 commercial build NT 4.0 and Linux rh6.0
Haven't successfully gotten to mac yet, assume same result

The Open/Save attachment dialog displays attachment name with percent sign (%)
instead of spaces.

1.  Go to mail window, login to mail account. Forward yourself a message with
spaces in the message subject, use setting for forward as attachment.
2.  Get the message, select it.
3.  Click on the attachment icon in the message header envelope area, note the
attachment name (title of original message) is displayed correctly with spaces.
4.  Click on the attachment name to select it and launch the Open/Save
attachment dialog.  Note the attachment name in the dialog has the spaces
represented with %.

I am not able to reproduce the problem using the following builds:
 win32 commercial seamonkey build 2000-082504-m18
 linux commercial seamonkey build 2000-082508-m18
 macos commercial seamonkey build 2000-082506-m18

It looks like it worksforme.
Laurel, are you still seeing the problem? 
Both pmock and myself could not reproduce it with latest build. Close it as 
"WORKSFORME".

This consitently happens for me on files sent to me from a Mac using other mail
clients.  Doesn't happen for PC attachments.  The same attachments show up
correctly with old netscape messenger.  It might be that the resource fork file
name (which shows up with a % sign on some other mail clients is being used
instead of the real file name.  

In using "Execmail" both filenames (one with and one without the %) sign shows up.
