File with invalid name inside archive

I try to unpack a file from a mbox archive (or any archive type for what matters) which (the file inside) has an invalid name.

In this specific case the archive doesn't support renaming files inside, which I wouldn't want to do in the first place anyway.

Shouldn't there be a possibility to rename on the fly the extracted file?

Nice to have but... Is there a chance that this "invalidity" is the effect of no Unicode support? If yes than it will be partially solved in TC 7.5.

No, it seems it's because the filename contains "" (ESC)

Indeed it would be the job of the plugin to ensure that the file name passed to CreateFile is valid. TC just passes the file name to the plugin as it was reported by the plugin.
