User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.1 (20030723)

A folder named C# would not display. Selecting it would show only an hourglass 
cursor and blank message list / message body panes. Renaming it to "CSharp" 
fixed the problem, and renaming it back to C# causes it to return. Attempting 
to rename the folder while selected fails (thunderbird says new name exists)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Click on a folder named C#
Actual Results:  
Hourglass cursor, blank preview and message list panes

Expected Results:  
Display folder contents normally
