While working on bug 309057, I noticed (...) bug 331924 comment 4: [ From Scott MacGregor 2006-03-28 14:12:10 PDT Created an attachment (id=216576) [details] remove netscape instant messenger buddy icon code I'm not adverse to support images in the message header pane (x-face, etc.), but we won't do it by looking for netscape instant messaging file screen name paths in your profile since we don't use netscape instant messenger anymore. ] I think we should look into porting that (part of the) bug...

From bug 454073: { Comment #25 From Dan Mosedale 2008-10-16 17:19:47 PDT Out of curiosity, do we think anyone still has profiles that contain these images in them? I assume the only ones that could possibly exist are ones that were used by some version of Netscape (or were migrated from there). } I don't know what the SeaMonkey v2 import feature do (or not) about it; but I can say that manually creating the directories and adding the image files still works (as I did it to test that bug). Then, I'm not the one to decide if SMv2 wants to keep this feature or port its removal.
