Build ID: 20110902133214

Steps to reproduce:

Export a message by dragging and dropping a message with an ampersand in the text of the subject, out of Thunderbird and into a folder in your computer.


Actual results:

The resulting exported file's name is truncated at the ampersand character and has no extension.

For example, a message with a subject "Boys & Girls Having Fun" when dragged to your desktop becomes a file named "Boys ".


Expected results:

The file should have been named "Boys & Girls Having Fun.eml"
