#3363: Compose Menu: Can't add attachments with space characters in their path
--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------

     Type:  defect                    |      Status:  new     
 Priority:  minor                     |   Milestone:

 Keywords:  compose attachment space  |  
--------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
 When I enter the path of attachments in the compose menu, mutt won't let
 me enter space characters, they are simply ignored. If I want to attach a
 file that has a space in its path, I thus usually need to copy it first
 somewhere else, e.g. into my tmp folder.

 I agree that spaces in file / directory names should be generally avoided,
 but sometimes third party software generates directory structures with
 such names and then it is a nuisance if you can't refer to the files in
 those hierarchies from mutt.

 Here are my mutt compile time settings:
