yikes!  I'll go make sure it's hard coded off for news, since its not supported yet.

This might have been because my tree was not consistent; I was up to date in
mailnews but not modules\libpref - I didn't have this line added to my mailnews.js,

pref("mailnews.ui.junk.firstuse", true);  

I wonder if somehow failing to get that pref caused problems? This bug seems
like user error on my part. I'll try again after my build finishes.

that pref is from shuehan, which should only affect some UI.

meaning, the first time a new users (someone without training.dat) does
something junk mail related, they'd get the info dialog.

but, maybe, without the default pref, you got a js error, that caused problems?

I tried this twice more, on my normal profile and another profile, and was not
able to reproduce the problem. I don't know why Jay is seeing this too.

user error on my part, I'm sure.
