marking this invalid....it turns out the it's a no no to have a "/" in the 
volume name.  It was causing confusion to the os when NS6 was looking for 
certain local files.  Ducarroz championed this one.  Thanks much Jean-Francios!!

Reopening. Having this break when the user has a / in their hard drive name is 
not acceptable.

Now that RDF persistence has been fixed to deal with /'s in a path (#113894)
this bug should also be fixed right?  Please verify and close if so.

I think I need more specific steps to verify this, because I tried to reproduce it
with a 10-19-2001 build on Mac OS 10.0.4 so I could see the problem and I did
not see it.   The depends bug 113894 wasn't fixed until 1-31-2002 so I should
have seen the problem with the old build, I'm not sure if OSX 10.0 was a factor.
 In any case, with build 20020227 Mac OSX 10.0.4,  I can send without error a
mail message that contains a link to our ftp site, an attachment that was taken
from a location on my hard drive and an embedded image that was taken from a
location on my hard drive.  All of them included "/" in the location of the file. 
If this is not testing the reported problem sufficiently, please update this bug
with steps.
