Bug Description
Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird
... Crash on email save as, with attachment error
Open an old email. File - Save As - File. Name and save (separate partition, albeit on same physical disk). Thunderbird crashes after an error box with words to the effect of "failed to save attachment". The email in question had no attachment. This error cannot be reproduced: Restarting and saving the same email again worked perfectly.
Edit: As noted below, the cause appears to be a filename with a colon in it, saved onto a FAT32 disk. Thunderbird normally finds and removes prefixes such as "Re: " and "Fw: ", but sometimes fails - particularly where these are nested ("Re: Fw: ...") or where colons have been used around other text (eg "xxx : xx...").

More information:
Precise error message is "Unable to save the attachment. Please check your file name and try again later." The error occurs when committing the save. After "OK-ing" the error box, the UI for Thunderbird becomes unresponsive and a second later, the application crashes.
The trigger may be two emails with identical subject field and sender in the same inbox. The emails have different contents. Plus one has been forwarded, while the other has been replied to. These are the only two emails to have so far triggered the crash.
Full crash report for the second crash attached.
