Hmm, that's pretty bad, since all the mailcap entries shipped with
Debian GNU/Linux use the quoted form. All of the Debian MIME-handling
utilities expect the entries to be quoted as well.

It would be nice if there was an option to flip in Gnus so that it
won't escape spaces in filenames passed to mailcap handlers. This
would make it compatible with the way Debian (and others?) handles
mailcap quoting.

What do you think?
