Details

nsIMsgCopyService.copyFolder() will happily attempt to try and move a folder into one of it's own children.
It does fail, but only because it starts generating ridiculously long filenames which go over the filename length limit.

It should check for the infinite-recursion case and fail early.

Presumably this is an old issue, 127 or prior?

No, I think it's still an issue, but not a problem which arises often because the GUI stops you doing anything so stupid :-)
