I just created a file with a space in the name:
,----
| davep@hagbard:~$ touch "Foo Bar.txt"
`----
and then composed an email in mutt (1.4.1). After composition, in the
post-compose menu, I hit "a" (attach-file), typed Foo<space> and mutt
auto-completed the name. In fact, if I do the above and simply type F<tab>
it also auto-completes the name (the above file being the only file in my
$HOME that starts with "F").
Given that mutt seems to be using space as a completion mechanism (just like
tab), could it be that you've got two or more files that have the same
prefix and a space in the same position? If so, what happens if you hit
space twice? Do you get the file picker? This is the behaviour I see if I
create a second file with a space in the name and with the same prefix as
the above:
,----
| davep@hagbard:~$ touch "Foo Baz.txt"
`----
