Interesting. Here's a shot in the dark: What is the value of ~, i.e.
$HOME? Does the value contain spaces?
I am pretty sure it does: "C:\\Documents and Settings\\mh"
But I am not sure if this is the root cause. Normally applications
unable to deal with whitespace in filenames would then show something
like ""C:\\Documents" and error because of the additional parameters.
BTW, it could be a glitch with the Windows file selection dialog. When
I call the function interactively (M-x gnus-mime-save-part), the
prompt defaults to the expected directory and filename.
Don't have the time right now to dig my teeth deeper into that. Maybe
on the weekend.
Regards,
Marcus
