Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 252309

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[Pedro Pinche]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Email file attachments download through yahoo's web based email at
mail.yahoo.com are automatically trucated when they have as spaces or
underscores in the filename.  

Examples:  Class_Schedule_2004_Fall.doc becomes CLASS.doc ;  new info 5.doc
becomes NEW.doc

Here is the HTML code used to initiate the download via a button labeled
download attachment.  I have trucated the msgid for privacy reasons.

<button type=button
onclick="window.location.href='/ym/ShowLetter/?box=Inbox&MsgId=5644_31573266_905&bodyPart=5&filename=&tnef=&download=1&YY=87288&order=down&sort=date&pos=0&view=a&head=b'">Download
Attachment</button>

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to yahoo mail.
2. Click download attached file.
3.

Actual Results:  
Download manager truncates the file name at the first space or underscore.

Expected Results:  
Should have displayed the full file name.  I.E. class_2004_fall.doc should be
class_2004_fall.doc not CLASS.doc

All file names have spaces, the underscores are only for display by yahoo (see
bug 252309 comment 0 step 4). It is the issue from bug 221028. To evangelize we
have already a bug for yahoo, so marking as dupe.
