Hi,

I found that when I receive for example a MS Word file with spaces in
the filename in Opera Mail and I try to open it, instead of opening
the complete file in OpenOffice (Linux), the file seems to get fed to
OpenOffice like it is more than one file.

for example a file "name with spaces.doc" will result in OpenOffice
complaining "~/.opera/temporary_downloads/name does not exsist",
"~/.opera/temporary_downloads/with does not exsist" and "~/.opera/
temporary_downloads/sapces.doc does not exsist"...

I read some old threads way back form 2006 about a similar issue but
it still seems to be the case on my setup :(

I've found that this breaks with any file type, not just Word
documents. I use 'kfmclient exec' for most file types, but I do not
run KDE. It seems like Opera isn't quoting the filename
appropriately. I've tried deleting my ~/.opera so Opera creates it
fresh, but the issue remains. I have the same opera:about setup as
you.

Wasn't this issue fixed in the 10.10 snapshots?
