Stewards unite name in the Mozilla mail client: or < or > lays out. Completing 
Mozilla mail and starting and looking at the result again after it. Mozilla 
falls away at the test unite stewards named / to lay out (btw. it passes nix 
and is the CPU because of a process mozilla completely fully occupied). Fault 
for it is probably Windows since Windows no-one : < > / in files and stewards.

Bizarre report. Doesn't look like a Mozilla problem either.

Reporter:
Can you explain what you mean ?
I can't understand your bug-report.

Comment 4

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

got a mial from the reporter :-)

He means this :
If you create a folder with "/ : < >" you get problems.
This folder are renamed to a random string after Mozilla is restarted.
if you create a folder with "/" mozilla will crash.
This is probably due to File System limitations.

I observed this :
create a folder "/test" and restart mozilla.
You will get a renamed folder with a random string.
A folfer with "test><" works for me.

This is one win2k build 20021125 and NTFS 

I dupe this to bug 140212 :
Mail folder with slash (/) in name causes strange results
