you can write a colon in an NTFS filename, you won't be able to access the |
| 14 |
file in Windows though, due to it using : as drive separator. But a funny |
| 15 |
quirk is that you can't create dot-files in Explorer (".someting"), because it |
| 16 |
thinks the file has no name then, but only an extension. One has to use the |
| 17 |
console then. |

OTOH the OP wants to use the FAT disk in a media device. I don't expect it to |
| 20 |
handle maildir. *g* |
