    PH> Using BinkD (running Linux)  as the mailer.. I noticed some Mystic nodes   
    PH> polling in were having this issue:   
      
   This seems to be related to a long standing issue with BinkD escaping   
   filenames incorrectly.  You'll have to get it fixed in BinkD.   
      
   A47 has a workaround for the BinkD bugs but A46 would not.   
      
    PH> v1.0.2.26.zip as MyGUI\x20v1.0.2.26.zip (1669424)   
      
   This is not a properly escaped filename being sent by BinkD as it does not   
   follow the BINKP protocol specifications for filename escaping:   
      
   5.2 File Name Issues   
   --------------------   
   In Mailer-parseable commands that contain a file name, the file name MUST NOT   
   include a whitespace (ASCII value 20 hex). The file name SHOULD NOT include   
   symbols other than alphanumeric (A-Z,a-z,0-9) and safe characters as defined   
   below in BNF. All other symbols are to be considered unsafe and SHOULD be   
   escaped in the form of two hexadecimal digits preceded by a backslash (e.g. a   
   whitespace must be transmitted as "\20").   
      
     filename        = *pchar   
     pchar           = unreserved | escape   
     unreserved      = ALPHA | DIGIT | safe   
     safe            = "@" | "&" | "=" | "+" | "%" | "$" | "-" | "_" |   
                       "." | "!" | "(" | ")" | "#" | "|"    
     escape          = "\" HEX HEX    
      
   ... Everyone smiles in the same language.
