For loops, Spaces in values

Suppose I have a program that returns a list of files, but those
files contain spaces:
/tmp/My File One.txt
/tmp/My File Two.txt
If I try and do a for loop over it, like:
for i in `listdirs` do
echo $i
done
(where list dirs is the program that generates the aforementioned
output), I get the following output from the loop:
My
File
One.txt
My
File
Two.txt
So, how do I get the for loop to iterate over my list, but not
delimit that list by spaces?
Cheers,
- andrew
