I wonder if it's sufficient to (when (search-forward "'%s'" nil t)
(replace-match "%s" t t command)) to take care of this particular
case.  Personally, I'd feel a lot more comfortable if Gnus ignored the
sender's suggested filename except when saving to a permanent file,
and used a randomly-generated name for viewing, in the same way that
W3 does.  I don't like the idea of trusting the author, no matter how
careful Gnus is.

Yeah.  I think it's safer (from silly mistakes in the quoting code,
perhaps) to use environmental substitution.  This would still require
removal of the single quotes as above, though.
