Subject had bad chars for file name

[John Ford]

I'm saving email items to .msg files, using the subject as part of the file name. Characters such as "?" are invalid for file names -- what's the usual remedy for this? Is there an easy way to remove/replace all invalid characters in a string?

TIA,

I usually use a series of Replace() functions. What you replace with
is your choice. I just usually use "".
