Subject: Using `get' on filenames with spaces

Our Majordomo server shares files with our Gopher server.  Many of the
Gopher files have names that contain spaces for readability.  When I
attempt to `get' such a file using Majordomo, I receive the error:

**** get: invalid file

For example, in an attempt to get the file "Mailing List Info" from
the "ww" mailing list, I tried the following Majordomo commands:

get ww Mailing List Info
get ww "Mailing List Info"
get ww 'Mailing List Info'
get ww Mailing\ List\ Info

All such commands failed with the error:

**** get: invalid file 'Mailing' for list 'ww'.

I can retrieve other files fine as long as their names do not contain
spaces. 

Note that I am *not* using ftpmail.

Since I am not yet subscribed to this mailing list, please at least Cc
any suggestions you might have to my personal e-mail address
(patrick@casbs.stanford.edu).

Thanks!
