[IPT] All space-characters in metadata are replaced to plus-character

[Tim Robertson [GBIF]]

Hi Tero,

How very strange.
Given this is public anyway (http://db.digitarium.fi:8080/ipt/eml.do?r=nylander) would you mind attaching the file from the filesystem please?  I'd like to look at the file encoding etc.

Thanks,
Tim
