The help file in Mozilla says that if you want to change the "Automatically
quote the original message when replying option" you have to go to
Edit>Preferences>Mail & Newsgroups>Composition, it this the Edit>Mail &
Newsgroup accountsettings>Composition & Adressing.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.goto help in menu bar
2.type reply in the searchfield
3.select the first match found
4.read the topic "Replying to a Message"

Actual Results:  
In Edit>Preferences>Mail & Newsgroups>Composition there is no option
"Automatically quote the original message when replying"

Expected Results:  
Step 1 is incorrect it should say
"1. Open the Edit menu and choose Mail & Newsgroup accountsettings" and step two 
"2. Under the Mail & Newsgroups category, click Composition and Adressing."

Its no serious bug but I spent hours looking for the option.

Hmm. The info in "Replying to a message" looks correct with Mozilla 2004012705 :

1. Open the Edit menu and choose Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings. You see the
Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings dialog box.
2. If you have multiple accounts, select an account and click the Composition &
Adressing category for that account.
3. Select "Automatically quote the original message when replying".

Note the typo, "click the Composition & Adressing category for that account"
should be "click the Composition & Addressing category for that account".


Aha, this was fixed 040121.
