Using some characters in the profile pathes cause a bad display in the mail prefs
i have created a profile inside a folder named "titi ƒ" (titi%20%C4)
and then created accounts (mail and news)
Server setting show a wrong character in place of C4
so it seems impossible to edit. Entering a C4 character broke the path and an
other folder is created. The C4 is replaced on the desktop by a ì

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a folder with a C4 character
2.Create a new profile inside it
3.Create accounts
4. Open mail prefs and look at "server settings"

Actual Results:  bad display of the character in newsrc file and local directory

Expected Results:  Correct display (the good character or %C4)

I have submitted bug 158163, about special charater handling in save menus. May
be that the cause is the same.

There is some incoherence in path handling in Mozilla
My home page is also in these folder. I see titi%20%C4
My signature file path is correct, i see the correct path.(with out % translation)
I suspect that the browser use %xx, and not the mail.
Confirmed using Mac/2002080208/9.2.2. I created a folder with a lowercase letter i with acute 
accent as its' name. I then created a Mozilla profile inside it and configured one newsgroup 
account. The accented letter was not displayed correctly in either the newsrc file path nor the 
Local directory path. (Screenshot to be attached.)

The letter should either be displayed correctly or as a %-encoded hex number, preferably the 
former.
