Hi,

apologies for the slightly mundane question.

What is the right way of telling factotum about a password that
contains spaces?  Specifically, I would like to put a line like the
following into my factotum secstore file:

key proto=pass server=some.server service=imap user=me !password= pwd with spaces

I have tried escaping the spaces with backslashes, and quoting the
password with single and double quotes, but I cannot get it to work.

Thanks for any pointers,
Robby

key proto=pass server=some.server service=imap user=me !password=' pwd with spaces'

should work fine. there's a space in some of my passwords and i've had no trouble
(since early bugs were fixed).

Managed to get it to work with
key proto=pass server=some.server service=imap user=me '!password= pwd with spaces'

Thanks,
