Works just fine for me. I use mutt 1.5.13, but I've never had that 
problem, even back in 1.5.10 days.

Perhaps the filename isn't being encoded properly? When mutt sends an 
attachment with a space in the filename, it ends up being encoded in 
the email like this:

    filename="foo bar.txt"

How is it being encoded in the emails where mutt is choking?
