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

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