Yes, it works for property task, but creates problem for the "files" attribute in the <mail> task. And ANT documentation doesn't mention anything like this for the "files" attribute

I am using the "files" attribute to set the attachement file. If I set the attribute as files = "${user.home}/test.txt" on windows XP, then ant throws this error "File "and" does not exist or is not readable.". ${user.home} is "C:/Documents and Settings/<username>" The same thing works fine when I use <fileset> to set the attachement file name. Does this mean I cannot use "files" attribute when the path has spaces in between like "Documents and Settings" ???
