Debian bug #404496 - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=404496

If you add a label with a blank in it, checkgmail refuses to start. It breaks because
the blank is output directly into prefs.xml instead of being encoded into a valid
attribute name character.

Workaround: in Gmail, rename your labels so that they no longer contain blanks.
