colon in file names for maildir

Hi,

I am implementing (or finishing the implementation of) the maildir spec in GNUMail.app, and the canonical spec says to name the mail file "unique_pattern:info". Note the colon character in the name. Now is this going to create problems on HFS+, the default FS on OS X? All the apps I tried do not allow me to save a file name with a colon in it, but can I do it programmatically? Might I run into problems later? Anyone know how the other maildir capable mail clients deal with it?

Thanks,

Ujwal
