26.1; Opening PDF attachments in Gnus with doc-view-mode causes error on Windows |

Hi,
I'm running Emacs 26.1 on Windows 10. I've replicated this with "emacs -Q"
In a gnus article buffer, opening a PDF attachment in doc-view causes
doc-view to fail with the error:
File error: "Opening output file", "Invalid argument",
"c:/Users/Jordan/Emacs/.cache/docview-cache/ *mm*-012345"
this leaves a buffer showing the file literally. If I rename that buffer
to something not containing an asterisk, it displays fine when running
"doc-view-mode". Windows apparently can't handle asterisks in
directory/file names.
Thanks

Thanks, pushed to the emacs-26 branch (will be merged to master from
there shortly).
