Comment:

 Protocol plugins do not escape the filename received from the network (or
 at least XMPP does not), so the autoaccept plugin must (In this situation,
 the UI save dialog would likely be responsible for saying "That's not a
 valid name, silly!" but as we're talking about a fully automated process,
 we need to take extra caution and not try to write
 `/home/paul/.ssh/authorized_keys`).

 I will agree it is perhaps more overeager than it could be. If you can
 code up a sane patch that allows safe characters while stripping off
 dangerous characters (and being OS/FS-agnostic), please go ahead.
