235231 - "Save all" feature on multiple attachments does not work for the root directory correctly.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 134796

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Bushy]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

It appears that saving all attachments on one email (by 'Save All') to C:\, does
not save these files in the correct location. If a sub-directory/sub folder is
selected, everything works fine. Selecting another drive, such as a local D:\,
it works fine.

If one right mouse clicks on any email with multiple attachments, and clicks on
'Save all', the 'browse for folder' pops-up, select the folder C:\, and the
files are saved into:
C:\program files\common files\mozilla.org\GRE\1.6_2004011308\
and not into C:\

Clicking on Cancel will bring up the 'save as' pop-up window. Can then select
C:\, and everything works fine. 

Have searched Bugzilla for 'Save All', came up with 29 results. None of those
included this bug.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to an email with multiple attachments.
2. Right mouse click and click on 'Save All'
3. On the pop-up browse window, click on C:\ folder. And click on OK.
4. Go back to 1. and do this again. A window will pop-up stating that do you
wish to overwrite the files in C:\program files\common
files\mozilla.org\GRE\1.6_2004011308\

Actual Results:  
Files were saved in to:
C:\program files\common files\mozilla.org\GRE\1.6_2004011308\

Expected Results:  
Saved the files in to:
C:\

Mozilla v1.6 on NT4 Workstation service pack 6a.
