broken e-mail: space in unescaped filename param of Content-Disposition header

[maertsen]

I came across a broken e-mail that has a space in the filename parameters of a Content-Disposition header, like this: Content-Disposition: inline; filename=Concur _1_.png

Now, this is not valid per https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2183.html#section-2 and https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2045#section-5.1, no space is allowed unless the filename is quoted, which it was not.

I'm filing this issue merely to document how this breaks, not with the expectation that a simple fix is possible:

• I'm saw this in aerc, which uses go-message ContentDisposition(), which uses parseHeaderWithParams(), which uses the go mime library.
• The go mime library throws a ErrInvalidMediaParameter at https://cs.opensource.google/go/go/+/refs/tags/go1.23.0:src/mime/mediatype.go;drc=b0b1d42db32a992150dd26681d3bda222e108303;l=169

Thunderbird seems to be able to deal with this brokenness, I have not checked how they do this.
