Subject: PCPine and Win95 filenames?

I can't get PC-Pine to attach files from directories with special "95ish"
characteristics, such as spaces in the names. When attempted, it always
complains that their is a "Problem with the attachment". 

For example, if my doc is in C:\My Documents, the attach will fail. 
(sound familiar?  This is the location all Office 95 apps want to dump
your creations!)

Is there any workaround or fix for this problem?

Thanks

Perhaps try enclosing the filename with quotation marks? (Just a
guess)

You should propably use the short name of the directory, if I remember
correctly (hey, haven't used windows95 for months!), the file
c:\mydocu~1\file.doc is equal to c:\my documents\file.doc .. =)

The dir-command should print out also the short names of directories..
