Details

This is from bug 169991 which attempted to use |GetFileExtension| on an URL. For
news URLS it returned "au" which doesn't seem to be the right thing.
do news:// URLs ever have valid file extensions?  i don't know the complete
syntax off the top of my head, but i've never seen a news:// URL which contained
a file path.  this kind of bad-parsing could easily screw up other things down
the road.

A news url can refer to a specific attachment, IIRC, and the attachment could
have a file name, I suppose.

Thats unlikly to be whats happening here, though. I suspet that the mailnews url
imp just needs to override GetFileExtention.
