Client allows overwriting of arbitrary files (as long as then end in .rss) #5

This is kind of a silly issue, but on 
http://code.google.com/p/foe-project/source/browse/trunk/FOE/foe2010-current/Cli
ent/FoeClientMessage.cs#290, a malicious message could insert directory 
traversal paths (e.g. "..") to overwrite arbitrary files as the user running 
the client, as long as those file names end in ".rss." 

Minus the ".rss" requirement I would consider this to be a real security issue, 
but unless there's a way to get rid of that .rss extension that I'm not seeing, 
this is a pretty minor problem.

Er, as long as *they* end in .rss.
