Re: Queuing SMTP mail

I use XEmacs under cygin on Win2k for my mail (using VM), and use

"queued mail" feature for writing mail when offline. It didn't work on
recent versions of smtpmail - because filenames where the messages
were stored had colons in them.
I don't think this should happen, as there is a call to
`convert-standard-filenames' below:
[from Simon]
(file-data (convert-standard-filename file-data))
which should remove the colons if I understand it correctly (I don't
use Windows). This is how it was solved in Emacs, and it seems like
the right thing to me (no need to make all users suffers the
limitations of one file system). Can you find out why the call
doesn't work?
Stupid question: if you evaluate (convert-standard-filename "foo:bar"),
what does it return? For me (21.5.9 and 21.4.10 but native Windows) it
returns "foo!bar" which is OK.
