When I attempt to download an attachment from Yahoo! with files that contain the
underscore character, firefox has problems parsing it. It creates a file whose
name is until the first underscore. For example if I was trying to download a
file called EE_EOS_questionnaire1.doc, I'd get a file called EE, even without
the .doc extension.
