I did see that but I don't think that's the same issue, unless it's a
side-effect, as there are no quoted characters involved. I've looked
further into this and with a test email I see the following:

logging $mime_decoded_filename - "test.zip"

changing my exim config to cope with the quotes, passing
$mime_decoded_filename to my checking script and then logging $1 -
/var/spool/exim/scan/1XCP7U-00009C-8d/"test.zip"

All quotes appear in the log. While I can see some possible reasons for
the first, the second just doesn't look right to me. Having got this
far, I can change my script to cope but the changes I make depend on
whether this is intended behaviour or likely to revert to the previous
behaviour.

Thanks,
George.
