Yep it's seen (search the list archives), but it's almost certainly a client
issue at the receiving end. Sqwebmail encodes filenames which contain odd
characters like spaces using a standard encoding method defined in RFCs, but
which not all MUAs understand.

I suggest you send one of these mails to a mailbox somewhere, then retrieve
it: either using telnet like this
  $ script foo.txt
  $ telnet x.x.x.x 110
  user username
  pass password
  retr 1
  quit
  $ exit
  $

Or if you have access to the Maildir where it's stored, then copy the file
from Maildir/cur/xxxxxxx and gzip it. Then you can paste it onto a message
to this list, and we can tell you if the MIME headers are correct
(Content-Disposition ??), in which case it's the receiving MUA which is at
fault.
