thanks...  I looked a bit at what + means as a regexp, and perhaps it shouldn't even find a match in this case.  filenames with ? also don't work as is, but I agree that this is not a bug given that this should be a regexp.  One can always just use \+ or \?.  So all is well, and I should have understood this myself.   I guess this is an advanced feature, and users should know what they are doing.  It's very a helpful one in any case.  cheers, E

Bug description:
summary says it all: when trying to attach a file with a + in its name, vm complains that no such file exists.  when I quote the + as \+ within the file name, attaching works fine
