Strange behaviour (by Exchange client?)

Hi,
sorry if this only applies to a marginally audience, but...

I have used sanitizer in a mailhub for some time now, and a considerable
amount of emails have passed through (about 500.000). What I (finally!) have
noticed is that email with attachments sent from a Exchange-client is
dropped (even if it is a "legal" file-extension) if _ is used in the
filename. Somehow this only applies to filnames with _ (space and possibly
other characters seems to work fine).

>From a transaction: 

----
Changed filename to:
	K_Hosem2000_foredrag_Atle.__ppt-250900-161707.XS

Original filename was:
	K Høsem2000 foredrag Atle.
	ppt
----

This is not true! The original filename was K_Høs....

Now, how could this happen? A \n in a filename? A _ lost?

Ideas?

Kim
