I have a correction to make. I don't think there's actually any way to escape the spaces or quote the folder names in list like this, so if you need to use folder names with spaces (something I avoid, btw) what you need to do is to remove the space charater from the $IFS environment variable, e.g. IFS=' '
Then run the mkdir `cat foldernames.txt` command. You can either reset $IFS to its default value (<space><tab><newline>) or close your session as further operations that depend on $IFS may yield unexpected results.
