Public bug reported:

The entry for application/pdf in my /etc/mailcap reads as follows:

application/pdf; evince '%s'; test=test -n "$DISPLAY";
nametemplate=%s.pdf

If I try to open an attachment called "two words.pdf" (with a space in
the name) in my mail client (mutt), I get two evince windows with
errors.  One says "Unable to open document “file:///home/slucy/two” and
the other says "Unable to open document “file:///home/slucy/words.pdf”".

If I change the mailcap line to include single quotes around the %s.pdf
as below, mutt can successfully open a pdf attachment with a space in
the name:

application/pdf; evince '%s'; test=test -n "$DISPLAY";
nametemplate='%s.pdf'

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS, with mime-support 3.54ubuntu1.1 and mutt
1.5.21-6.4ubuntu2.1 and evince 3.10.3-0ubuntu10.2.
