Unhappy '?' in filenames

I am in the process of downloading some songs from another user, but alas two of the titles have question marks (fairly common in song titles). For example:
Should I Be Sweet?

This song is listed in the Search results, but when I click on it, I get a "Need more sources" message which I assume is a "File not found" error message on the remote machine. According to the Results window it is running Lime, but alas doesn't indicate which version.

On my OS (OS/2), question marks aren't allowed in filenames, and for better or worse I have been forced to get in the habit of removing them. Apparently, this individual is using an OS which does permit them, but his/her version of LimeWire isn't taking this into account. Is this a current issue or has this been fixed in earlier versions?

Thanks and keep up the good work.
