[dev] DIMP bug in Safari

Just set up DIMP with last night's HEAD version, and noticed the  
following. Our IMAP server's sent messages folder is called "Sent  
Msgs" by default, and is configured that way in imp/config/prefs.php.

Using Safari on OS X 10.4.5, DIMP displays the folder name as "Sent% 
20Msgs" at the top of the page. Also, it is failing to display any  
messages, instead reporting "No messages to display".

I checked the server logs, problem is it's asking for the folder name  
with the %20:

04/19/2006 23:47:36 [-1137800512] S: 00000001 OK Login completed
04/19/2006 23:47:36 [-1137800512] C: 00000002 CAPABILITY
04/19/2006 23:47:36 [-1137800512] S: 00000002 OK CAPABILITY completed
04/19/2006 23:47:36 [-1137800512] C: 00000003 SELECT "Sent%20Msgs"

Interestingly, I just checked other folders with spaces in the names  
and they have the same problem. But, very briefly when the page first  
updates the .msghead div section, it shows "Sent Msgs" and then  
changes to "Sent%20Msgs". (div identifier is a best guess, haven't  
been able to view that source in the page yet, used FF to get the CSS  
info and make a guess.)

I also checked in Firefox and it does work correctly there. Another  
point about safari is that it constantly spins the "loading" symbol  
for the page, though that doesn't seem to effect anything other than  
graying out the Show Source menu item.

I tried finding where in the code this is being handled, but I'm  
afraid I didn't find it yet. Not familiar enough with DIMP at this  
time. Great work though, very happy to see this coming. I've set it  
up for some testing here. Is this mailing list the preferred method  
of feedback?
