I see that now. Once again specificity is lacking. Your words were "Just 
a side note: you mail client seems to unable to handle <NAME>
correctly as well.". I was looking at the string itself, and its 
contents seem to be handled normally. I would have formatted your 
comment thus:

Just a side note: you mail client seems to unable to handle " <NAME> " 
correctly as well.

That would have directed a dummy like myself to look at the spacing. 
Again, I can't read your mind.


This does not affect a configuration such as

  location ~ ^/phpmyadmin/(?<NAME>.+\.php)$ {
      fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
      fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME
                    /var/www/monsite.fr/phpMyAdmin/$NAME;
      include fastcgi_params;
  }

Or at least not in my testing here.

Also, in my testing here the following string:

<name> <name> blah <name>

rendered with spaces.


The problem is likely a charset issue and appears to be a bug in the 
conversion. You use  "us-ascii" and I use "ISO-8859-1".
