Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 190343

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

If you go to a URL with a nasty long value and do send page, the attachment file
name generated is that of the nasty URL.  There are two problems seen.  (1) it
is awkward for the recipient to save w/o renaming; (2) intermediate mail servers
with virus detection may treat it as insane attachment and delete it.

Example:  send page of

http://foo.bar.com/HTML/iburdtcorcl.jsp?jttst0=1439458_61637%2C61637%2C-1%2C0%2C&ibudnr=25&jtfm0=_0_0_0_-1_f_nv_&ibucr=5OgKRm7l&etfm1=&ibudf=DD-MON-RRRR&kmcp=0QaHKm7l&jfn=ZG52A12159B0836F627EADDD9E4FFF9B7E214450C14E2B8DA3DF27509B8736EAFECB6B25EC2D4FBDF7CAB31C17DD0644A04E

results in an attachment name of 

foo.bar.com-HTML-iburdt01.jsp-foo=bar&jtfm0=_0_0_0_-1_f_nv_&ibucr=np2pk6dY&etfm1=&ibudf=DD-MON-RRRR&kmcp=irWmd6dY&jfn=ZGDF627D49277A897847263DE5DBEC2E0B91FABD7941683B3481A5F9AFB837DA9719E9F7DD23C59AF65CADDB058B9C6C0B49&srID=1253513

which has been seen to provoke virus complaint of:

A (EMail_Flaw_MIME_Tag_Overflow) virus was detected in the file "suspicious long
filename tag" inside of a message bound for your account on 01/22/2003 22:56:45.
 The following action was taken: deleted.







Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Find a site with long encoded URL
2.  Send Page 
Actual Results:  
 Look at the attachment file name that is generated.  Hmm, long, with encodings.




Expected Results:  
It should have restricted the generated name to a 'safe' character
set with a limited length; Or it might default the
name to something innocuous like 'SentPage' rather than using
the URL in the name at all, similar to mail 'save as file' defaulting
to 'message.eml'
