Win_nt 4.0 (1999-10-18-09 M11)commercial
Mac (1999-10-18-09 M11)mozilla
Steps:
1. Launch Messenger
2. Select Account Setup from the Edit menu
3. On the left pane, the selection focus is on "qatest01 on nsmail-2"

Actual result: From the Account setup pane, in the Reply-to address: field,
On Linux, it shows:
Reply-to Address: taskbar.ontop
Organization: taskbar.ontop

On Win_nt 4.0, it shows:
Reply-to Address: intl.font254.win.prop_fon
Organization: intl.font254.win.prop_fon

On Mac, which is not a migrated pref, it shows:
Reply-to Address: [e-mail]
Organization: Netscape Communication

Expected result: It should be blank in the Reply-to Address field. In Nova, this
field is defaulted to the same like the email address (which is qatest01 in this
example).

I'm not seeing this at ALL...I don't even know who to ping about this.

fenella, I'm wondering if this somehow got into your prefs by accident. Can you
try this with a totally fresh install, and then again with a migrated profile?

My only out-of-the blue guess is that maybe these strings are strangely being
migrated from 4.x?

I did a fresh install on today's builds.  And migrated the same 4.x profile.
This problem no longer exists.  Mark it worksforme.
