> The patch for bug #25082 appears to have broken quoted paths being passed to emacsclientw on Windows.
> 
> w32_execvp doesn’t handle this because it doesn’t quote the path argument to execvp (ultimately to CreateProcess?).
> 
> So the patch prevents any possibility of passing a path with spaces as the alternate editor on Windows.

Could you please show a (non-)working example where this problem can
be seen?

Thanks.
