I'd like to be able to see a short version of the name of the favorite in Thunderbird favorites view, however it tacks on "- Local Folders" at the end of each name now. Is there a setting to keep that from happening, and if not, could you consider this to be an enhancement request to add such a setting? We use search folders in our favorites to keep a simple 1 list view for each account in use by the family, and the "- Local Folders" wastes space in that column.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a search folder in Local Folders
2. Make it a favorite
3. View favorites list by using the right/left arrow above the left column
Actual Results:  
it shows "- Local Folders" after favorite name

Expected Results:  
it does not show "- Local Folders" after favorite name

this should be an easily configurable setting

This may be fixed if patch from bug 649989 will land.
