I am having an issue with Mozilla Firefox and Yahoo Mail and I am getting really, really sick of it.

Whenever I try download a file with a "" in the name (for example "boat_test.lwo", a Lightwave file), Firefox drops everything after the "" (the file is now named just "boat", an unknown file).
This is really bad when my sister sends me photos called "Disney_World_Vacation_2005_023.jpg". F-ing Firefox tries to save the file as just "Disney". I have to manually rename ALL the photos that she sends.

See the screen shot for what's happening. You can see the real name of the file is "boat_3.lwo", but after I hit the "Download Attachment" button, Firefox wants to save it as "boat". If Firefox did not cut off the name of the file, the dialog box would show the complete name and would say "Open With Lightwave Modeler".

Does anyone have any good ideas about why this is happening? I'm using the latest version of Firefox on Windows XP.

I don't know if this issue is only occurring with Yahoo Mail or not- I haven't downloaded any files with the "_" character from any other sites.
