So if She understands you the best is to use the "old" standard 
mozilla.org in the old profile and having the same structure as the 
current on sitting on y. On another tack: Which characteer set shall the 
new user profile have? Under Mail & Newsgroup the setting is UTF-8 on 
both locations. Reason? She have sent music files to a friend and 
sometimes cited stuff that was US-ASCII and the mailer complained of 
that so She switched to UTF-8 and the problems disappearedn totally :-)
