Bug Description
Files with filenames in Cyrillic (Bulgarian in my case) which are stored on a FAT32 partition cannot be read and Nautilus shows only question marks instead of Cyrillic letters (for example, "???? ??????????.doc"). Maybe UTF8 iocharset should be used explicitly in '/etc/fstab'.

There is something more. If the file is on the root partition (which is 'ext4') and not on a 'fat32' partition, the file can be read and the filename is properly shown in Nautilus but if you try to send the file through 'Skype', Skype does not send it and only shows the filename which is wrong again. For example, the file "знам.doc" (in latin "znam.doc") is dropped over Skype, it is shown as "file:/ //home/ miro/Documents/ %D0%B7% D0%BD%D0% B0%D0%BC. doc" and the file is not sent.
