Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

when submitting a FILE from a form (in a utf8 page) and teh file is named with non-ASCII characters, the special characters are replaced with "_" on submission

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a .php page with utf-8 (or ISO-8859-7) charset
2.build a form containing a FILE field
3.insert a:
      var_dump ($_FILES); die();
  code into your page in order to see how the name of the file gets submitted
4. load the page into Firefox browser; make usre the encoding of the browser is set to utf8 or Greek for the current page
5. fill the form fields with necessary info
6. in the FILE field, browse for a file named with non-ASCII craracters (I used Greek characters); if you don't have such a file, you can just browse for a normal file, then replace its name by copy+paste-ing a non-ASCII name form a web site
7. click on Submit

Actual Results:  
the name of the file gets submitted with the name containing "_" (underscore) characters insetad of any non-ASCII original characters

Expected Results:  
the original non-ASCII name of the file should kept on submition

I've tried to change the Date and Regional settings from Windows to other values but this does not affect the behaviour
