I sent the following post about 20 hours ago, but it does not appear to have
reached the newsgroup. So ... here goes again.

When using the import facility in Windows Mail to transfer folders from an
OE6 store, I found what appears to be a bug.

If the folder name in OE6 contains a slash, eg 'Burial/cremation', the slash
and the letters preceding it are omitted in the new folder name created in
WM, ie 'cremation' in this example. This happened in around 20 cases, but
it did not appear to happen with any other special characters.

In one case, the folders in OE6 were 'Shoes/Pedals' and 'Pedals'. WM
combined the 2 folders under the name 'Pedals'.

Has anyone else experienced this? Has it been reported as a bug?
