As Salaam Aleikum!
Can the old profile be migrated to the new one "Brekke" which will live 
on r:\mozilla.org\org in stages? Why She asks is that there are a hell 
of lines under the "Helper Appplications" So could She tick off the 
prefs that comes before this section, click OK on the new profile so it 
will be saved/created under the name "Brekke". Then close down SMPMW118, 
open the old prefs.js in e.exe and likewise open the new prefs.js and 
just copy & paste over the items related to the Helper apps, save the 
new prefs.js. Then fire up SMPMW118 with the old profile and another 
instance with the new profile and tick off the rest which are required.

Btw, in the Mail & Newsgroups part, you only declare which newsservers 
She will use, i.e. nntp.ecomstation.com and the one for 
news.mozilla.org. For the last there probably are just two files, one 
for the messages and a corresponding .msf file, but how is it with the 
ecomstation newsgroups? Discovered that the newsgroups was placed in 
news.ecomstation-1.com instead of news.ecomstation.com. So could the 
files under news.ecomstation-1.com just be copied to 
news.ecomstation.com. She thinks that this misplacement of the 
news.ecomstation.com made the newsgroups unavailable for the mailer. 
dev.ports.os2.mozilla.com works just fine, thank you :-)
