199648 - When I had subfolders named "H#", its stored msgs where unreadable

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 115091

(MailNews Core :: Database, defect)

Description

[S.Green]

User-Agent:       Enter new UA String or choose a common one. Then press ENTER
Build Identifier: Use of character # in subfolder name makes msgs unreadable

This has been occuring for the past versions (I'm using 1.4a now).  I just
figured out that by removing the #, the message data was accessable again (the
headers showed).  Also, when I tried to reverse the process, the rename function
acted really funky -- it didn't properly complete.  Also, the Help text does NOT
list acceptable characters for folder names.  Normally, I would think that a "#"
would be acceptable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Create a subfolder using the character # in its name
2.  move/copy msgs into this folder
3.  try to access the msgs.

Actual Results:  
the msg headers show but the data is not available (no err msgs!!)

Expected Results:  
Should be able to read the msgs.
