[PLUG] Plugger and spaces (%20) in URL attached documents

[Richard Langis]

Actually...  I've had this problem myself with SO6 under Solaris.  I 
think it is a problem with Mozilla sending out the wrong filename.

Shouldn't /tmp/plugtmp have the file:

PHONE\ DIRECTORY-\ March.xls?  Since the %20's are a (what, URI?) 
web-based 'shortcut', and the filesystem isn't web-based.  ;)
