the number of times i've sent stuff to people that works fine, had
them run it through dreamweaver and then complain that it's broken
makes me wonder what the bad gui tools are like.

Maybe, but calling something the 'best' in that product category is
probably damning with faint praise.

It has others, it'll s/\./_/g for all except the last.

The only way I've found is simple but tedious:

 1.  Choose "Save As..." or shift-click on a link or whatever
 2.  If the filename doesn't contain %20 then click OK and you're done
 3.  Use your mouse to highlight the first %20 in the filename
 4.  Press the space bar once
 5.  GOTO 2


I suppose you were hoping for a simpler procedure, but this is
the simplest I've found. Possibly IE doesn't have that problem.
