207475 - pref("mail.identity.default.fcc_folder","mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Sent"); is wrong

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(MailNews Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[timeless]

The mail.identity.default.fcc_folder pref is treated as a complex value, so per
the documentation (well ...) the default value should be a property file, and
the property file should have an entry
mail.identity.default.fcc_folder=mailbox://nobody@Local Folders/Sent
(or something like that).

304 bienvenu     3.121
pref("mail.identity.default.fcc_folder","mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Sent");
12 Sep 2001 20:00 default for unsent messages should be escaped uri, r=sspitzer,
sr=mscott 79245

steps:
[use mozilla debug build]
create a new mozilla (1.4) profile
load about:config

actual results:
	aURL	mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Sent
  rv = GetFileFromURL(aURL, getter_AddRefs(file));
	rv	2152857601 [ NS_ERROR_FILE_UNRECOGNIZED_PATH ]
  NS_ENSURE_SUCCESS(rv, rv);

about:config is a red herring; because there is no way for prefs to indicate
that they're localized it tries to retrieve each pref as a localized string
(because caillon asked me to) just in case.

thank you, yes the names for the special folders are localized in another way.
