if I migrate a profile from 4.x that doesn't have a fat file, when I open mail news migration will fail. it will migrate some of the accounts and then throw up the account wizard. to get a 4.x profile with no news fat file is easy: create a 4.x profile, but never use news. dimi and I saw this with a new profile we created on my windows box.
marking nsbeta2. fix in hand. accepting. marking m17.

Does it screw up the mail migration? or the news migration? We assume news and are making [nsbeta2-]. If it is mail, please remove [nsbeta2-] and resubmit.
