This bug has been opened here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/6912

"https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/attachment.cgi?id=1746
in reply to comment #7 (screenshot)

Click on the attachment... select "Save as..." and the filename (box 1. in
screenshot), which originally was "Peace & Love.sxw" becomes "Peace___Love.sxw"
in the save dialog (box 2. in screenshot). 
Locale is LANG=it_CH.UTF-8"
Comment 1 André Klapper 2005-05-09 18:29:43 UTC 
i can confirm this using evo-2.2.2 on suse9.2, locale de_DE@euro.
Comment 2 vivek jain 2005-08-03 10:50:08 UTC 
We don't allow "suspicious" characters to be present in the file. The file name
is coverted to a "safe" filename which is just a suggested name. User can change
it if he thinks prevoius one was more accurate. Evolution WILL replace
"&();|<>$%{}!"
with "_". which of course is editable.
Comment 3 Sebastien Bacher 2005-08-03 17:39:52 UTC 
what is the issue with having a filename with a "(" or a ")"?
