I disagree. Spaces in themselves are not the problem. What do you have
agains them? Even if you don't see any spaces in a message or its
attachment, it still can be engineered to look like something else. It's
all about perception. Consider the recent tricks with "links" that end
on .com, like www.clickme.com, that are in fact MS-DOS .COM files.
