Subject: [9fans] spaces in passwords and factotum secstore file

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
