User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

When using IMAP (unsure about other folder types), creating a folder that starts
with the characters of a registered plugin's file extension results in every
message viewed in that folder invoking the plugin, and not displaying the message.

For example, I have two folders, Aussie-ISP and DirectShow, the Aussie-ISP
folder loads the Quicktime plugin instead of the message for every message in
this folder, because "au" is a registered filetype of the quicktime plugin, and
the DirectShow folder loads Shockwave each time because "dir" is the filetype of
the Shockwave plugin.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a IMAP folder whos name begins with a plugin's registered file extension.
2. Put a message in this folder
3. Try and read the message.
Actual Results:  
Invokes plugin registered to the first three or so letters of the folder name if
such a plugin is installed.

Expected Results:  
Should display the message.

Disabling Sun AU audio from Quicktime resolves the problem on the "Aussie-ISP"
folder, but short of removing all plugins, it doesn't solve the problem.
