Keep the space in the filenames upon saving

Evolution tries to avoid problems with some "reserved" characters, being it wild cards (?*) or the directory separators (/) or event the colon (:), being it on Windows. And any unprintable characters. The current set is: "/'"`&();|<>$%{}!#" (with backslash, colon, question mark and the star added for Windows).

This is helpful but it would be helpful if the space is not replaced with underscores (underline, low line, or low dash) by default. I can imagine three possible solutions:

  1. Not to replace space by default.
  2. Have an option in the preferences to turn of the replacement of space.
  3. Have an option in dconf to turn of the replacement of space.

Another suggestion is: "Even more ideal would be to make the entire set configurable with a corresponding replacement set - not everything should be replaced with an underscore, you might want some chars simply stripped out (eg single quote and double quote)"

Thanks for your help in advance!
