OSError: [WinError 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect

To reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior. Please include the exact commands tried.

I tried to export all chats (first time) without any special arguments: sigexport ~/signal-chats

It seems to be related to how attachments are named when sent, so as I don't know which file causes the above error, I don't know how to provide further steps to reproduce. When using a sample chat with only images, the export works fine.

Is there any way I can fix this?

Added a bit of code here to skip these errors (you'll get a warning message), will release this shortly. b04bc46

Please re-install with pip install --upgrade signal-export and try again. Re-open the issue if the problem persists.
