Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/21.0.1171.0 Safari/537.1

Steps to reproduce:

Received a message with the Date: header looking as follows:

Date: June 14, 2012 6:33:21 PM GMT+03:00



Actual results:

Any time such a message is opened, the following error is displayed:

Bad key or directory name: "/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/GMT+03/command": `+' is an invalid character in key/directory names
Bad key or directory name: "/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/GMT+03/command": `+' is an invalid character in key/directory names



Expected results:

The error appears consistently if a Date: header containing GMT+NN is present in the message itself or in an attached message. Messages with Date: headers specifying the timezone as +NNNN do not cause a problem.

The platform is Linux/Ubuntu 10.04 amd64
The error message is phenomenon of bug 541130.
Particularity of this bug is "GMT+03: in Date: header".
Setting dependency to bug 541130 for ease of tracking.

Confirmed:
Bad key or directory name: "/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/GMT+01/command": `+' is an invalid character in key/directory names
I have the same error, it is however strange that it may or may not happen in mails received from the same person... In my case it is GMT+01 that causes the error to appear
