The window is too short, the buttons "OK" and "Abbruch" do not appear, 
this is independent of the screen resolution

Gunther: which Theme do you use?
With Classic and 2002092608 on Win2k it works for me. Also works with moz 1.0.
But these are the english mozilla versions, so maybe it's a problem with
Localization.

The bug reporter sent me this screenshot and following lines via mail:
> OS is Windows 98 SE, Mozilla Version is 1.1, de-AT,
> here is a JPEG from the Import-Window...

Taking because this seems to be an L10n issue.

Andreas:
Assumed you also you Classic, could you please tell me what lines you read above
the list in the en-US version? Most important seems to be the number of lines
Mozilla does show you there. I think the German description is just too long :(

This is how it looks like in en-US.
Window size is the same, but there are two lines less AND it seems like the
reporter has increased his Windows text size.

It seems the major problem here is the bigger font size the reporter got from
his Windows settings.
I think a dialog like that should size to its content and shouldn't be fixed
size at all. If it's fixed size, it should be measured in em, so that problems
like that hopefully can't appear.

Because of that, reassigning to Mailnews people again, as a bigger Windows font
size should also trigger this bug on en-US systems.
