Details

This is to track the better solution mentioned in #48825. The issue applies to 
all folders (local, imap, etc). So the following url:

imap://uwtest@sspitzer.mcom.com/#ftp/pub/bug48825

should really be:

imap://uwtest@sspitzer.mcom.com/%23ftp/pub/bug48825

So that when we append the msg id to the url we only have one '#" in the entire 
string:

imap://uwtest@sspitzer.mcom.com/%23ftp/pub/bug48825#2

For storage in prefs.js and localstore.rdf, mailbox: URIs are escaped properly but imap: URIs (at least in prefs) are not.  Bug 84045 is for the IMAP case.

However, when you use "Copy Folder Location", imap: URIs are escaped properly in the clipboard and mailbox: URIs are not -- just the opposite.

I see the above with TB 1.5, Windows 2000.
