My company mainly uses Lotus Notes as their mail package.. (no rants,
please)..  There are a few of us that use mutt, of course.

Unfortunately, when Notes people send out file attachments, the current
supported Notes->SMTP gateway UUencodes them.  That's no problem for mutt;
except for when the file names contain spaces, the first line of the 
UUencode text is something like this:

begin 644 Jan 3 meeting.doc

If I hit 's' to save the attachement, I get the document saved as 'Jan'.
The only work around I can find is to hit | to pipe it out, and type in
uuencode -o jan_3_meeting.doc

But that requires me knowing the file name, and a lot of typing.

Certainly there is either a way to tell mutt to handle the spaces properly,
or to create a macro that grabs the file name with

| head -1 | cut -d ' ' -f 3-

and then runs uudecode -o on it..  I'm not sure how to do that in mutt
without writing an external script.. I'd prefer a better solution..

Help.
