If you want to try the attached patch to mhshowsbr.c, it works
for me with:

    mhshow-show-application/pdf: %pmime_helper %F %s "`fmttest -raw -format 
'%(decode{text})' '%{name}'`"

It quotes the name containing a single quote as shown above.

As far as whether this is the right approach, I'd like to hear from
others.
