Re: [Evolution] Drag and drop from nautilus broke?

Sounds like a bug, but it could be at either end of the dnd process.

Although '#' is used as the shell comment, so you can't type the
filename in a shell command line directly without escaping it, there is
nothing in the filesystem preventing you using it (emacs uses #'s in
backup files).
