WFM: If I open <http://edmullen.net/temp/Stan%20Rogers%20-%20The%20Witch%20of%20the%20Westmorland.mp3> (and of course the spaces are shown on the URL address bar) and then select: File:Send Link the result in the email is exactly: <http://edmullen.net/temp/Stan%20Rogers%20-%20The%20Witch%20of%20the%20Westmorland.mp3> If I copy & paste it pastes as: http://edmullen.net/temp/Stan%20Rogers%20-%20The%20Witch%20of%20the%20Westmorland.mp3 so not sure why you're missing the %20's.
