It seems you replaced all occurences of "Netscape" to "Mozilla" in
mail_help.html. This action caused some interesting side effects:

1. I'm not sure it was OK the change the name in the disclaimer section on the
top of the page. Probably yes but it sounds strange. Mozilla.org would sound
better instead of Mozilla.

2. "(AOL Instant Messenger is installed by default when you installed Mozilla)"
This is not true. Probably you should remove AOL IM related sections from
Mozilla help, because they do not apply.

3. "Synchronize entries with your Mozilla Webmail or AOL Address Book". Ditto.

4. "Mozilla 6" should be "Netscape 6"

5. "Mozilla Communicator" should be "Netscape Communicator"

6. "Mozilla screen name" should be "Netscape screen name"

7. "(for instance, o=Mozilla Communications Corporation, c=US)" it used to be
Netscape, too.

8. "Mozilla.net" should be "Netscape.net"

9. "Copyright © 1994-2003 Mozilla Communications Corporation." :-)

BTW I wonder why you put back Netscape only sections (AOL, webmail, etc.) The
were not there in the help of Mozilla 1.3.
