[binc] Problem with folders starting with space in Thunderbird

[Seth LaForge]

First off, huge kudos for writing binc - it seems well-designed and 
sane, unlike Cyrus and Courier, which I've had the misfortune of dealing 
with.

I'm using binc 1.2.7 with IMAPdir and Thunderbird 0.6.  In Thunderbird, 
if I create a top-level folder with a name starting with a space, e.g. " 
Spam", everything appears fine.  But then if I exit and restart 
Thunderbird, the " Spam" folder disappears, and a "Spam" folder appears 
with its name grayed out and italicised.  Playing with Thunderbird's 
Subscription settings leads to all kinds of odd mayhem.

Is binc known to have problems with folder names beginning with space?  
This may well be a Thunderbird problem, although I have folders starting 
with space on a Cyrus server with no problems (although under INBOX, not 
at the top level).  If it's not a known problem, I'll do some protocol 
tracing and try to figure out what's going on.

BTW, I'm putting spaces in front of folder names as a hack to get them 
to sort to the top of the folder list.  I've switched to putting "^" in 
front of folder names instead - Thunderbird/binc don't seem to mind that.
