The problem is, you're using a Non-ASCII character in the filename - a
control code of some sort.

It looks like a space to Veronica.

In Pine's message reader/viewer screen, on my terminal, it appears as a
caret "^" followed by an "o" with a tilde over it.

Pine rendered it as caret followed by an uppercase "U" when I called up the
message editor to write this reply.

Indeed.  Had you stuck to ASCII characters, your "filename" would have
appeared properly on both Veronica's and my terminal.
