Used 08-25-08-M18 commercial bild:

Mail account wizard overwrite the News account name after run news://host/group 
url from zero account.

Overview: Refer to bug 36661, from a new profile, after run news://host/group 
url for zero account should pop up new account wizard for adding mail account. 
But after go through the account wizard, it will create a mail account. But same 
identity also overwrite the existing news account which subscribe from the url.

1) Create a new profile without any mail or news account
2) From the browser, run news://host/group url for this zero account.
3) Seamonkey should pop up new account wizard for adding mail account 
identity....etc info
4) Input all the info from the account wizard.
5) Actual Results: After complete the account wizards for create another Mail 
account, the existing NEWS account name has been overwrited to a Mail account 
too.

Expected results: Mail account wizard shouldn't overwrite the News account name 
after run news://host/group url from zero account.

Will attach the screen shot soon.

this is all a dupe of the original problem where the wizard doesn't prompt the 
user for news information
