User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210

I have a message in an IMAP mailbox with an attachment of type
application/msword named "Reading_List_Unit_#3.doc".  When I try to open it,
either by double-clicking on its name in the "Attachments:" box or by
right-clicking and selecting "Open", nothing happens.  However, "Save As" works
normally, giving a file selector box with the proper name filled in.  This same
attachment opens fine under Mozilla 1.3a.  This same attachment opens fine if
the email message is copied to a mailbox in Local Folders.  This same attachment
opens fine from the IMAP mailbox if I first go into the mailbox with a text
editor and remove the # from the file name, both in the Content-Type and
Content-Disposition lines.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Read IMAP mail message with attachment containing "#" in file name.  Name of
attachment shows in Attachments box.
2.Double-click on name, or right-click and select open.
3.

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
Should have opened a dialog box asking what to do with this file.

Here is the Mime header to the attachment in question:
 
Content-Id: <p05111a02ba84c0b2c4c9@[130.132.57.54].0.0>
Content-Type: application/msword; name="Reading_List_Unit_#3.doc"
 ; x-mac-type="5738424E"
 ; x-mac-creator="4D535744"
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Reading_List_Unit_#3.doc"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

I think this was fixed a while ago - could you try a more recent build?
