Description Jeffrey Stedfast 2002-05-06 18:25:14 UTC 
Need to have an encoding scheme for folder names so that we can somehow
display folder names with embedded /'s

once the shell can handle this I need to make the mailer encode the folder
names. This shouldn't be too hard.

I'm thinking we could use a hex-encoding similar to encoding used in URLs?

/path/to/Folder with a %2F in the name

For local folders, it was just decided not to bother.  For mail
folders that are remote, the shell doesn't need to do anything, since
the storage paths are separate from the display names, so you can use
the encoded name for the paths and the real name for the display name.
