title: Linux: why colon (:) is removed from the file name when using uuencode?
body: <p>I am trying to e-mail a file containing colon (:) character in the name:</p>
  
  <pre><code>my_attachment_name=some_file_with_:_in_the_name.txt
  uuencode "${my_attachment_name}" "`basename \"${my_attachment_name}\"`"
       | mail -s "My Report ..." my_email@xyz.com
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But, when I receive the e-mail, I see ":" has been removed from the file name. </p>
  
  <pre><code>some_file_with__in_the_name.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I fixed it?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks. </p>
