build id: 1999052008 platform: windows nt this is about the window settings pane in the prefs ui. problems: the first instance of "If you prefer fewer windows..." should not be there. the proper text for that area is "Note: a change to this setting will only take effect the next time you open a Messenger window." the second instance of "If you prefer fewer windows" has one or possibly two problems: first, there may be an extra space between "into" and "existing", but I can't say for sure. Please double-check this. Secondly, I believe that the proper English usage of the opposite of "select" is "deselect", NOT "unselect". Older Netscape browsers use "unselect", but I feel that it is time we fixed this and went to "deselect".

AGREE - The first instance of "If you prefer fewer windows..." should not be there. The proper text for that area is "Note: a change to this setting will only take effect the next time you open a Messenger window." "Unselect" is not a real word (according to Websters)and should be "deselect".

Given the new pref redesign for Mail, I don't believe this bug is valid anymore. http://gooey/client/5.0/specs/mail/Prefs/Preferences.html#MnN
