Denis, I understand your point that XE being used globally, needs to support more than Ascii char set. While the new reference model matures, could you clarify if underscore in a file name would break the functionality under the current model where attachment name is used as a reference for attachments? If not, would it be possible to eliminate the stripping of just the underscore chars and push that fix in the next XE release -- I am OK with space chars getting stripped off.

Restriction on attachment names will be easier to be changed when the new model model using references will be fully in place, since attachment names are currently used as reference for attachments. Be sure I will take care to have it improve.
