Prior to a beta release, chg URL for Mail Start Page to point to Netcenter Just a placeholder bug. Right now, the Mail Start Page URL goes to the prefs-info.html file to let users know how to set up mail (which is a great idea to get people started to use mail). Prior to a beta release, we need to change the URL back to Netcenter in case someone is tracking page view statistics.

Target Milestone: M10
accepting bug.
Update: in the 6/24 build (Win32 only), the mail start page is blank. DOS window shows "start message pane with about:blank". Unable to try Linux due to another bug. Mac builds do not have this problem - shows the page that refers the person to the prefs html file.

I've changed the default start page to be "http://messenger.netscape.com/bookmark/4_5/messengerstart.html" This is a more realistic example of a start page. Now that necko has landed, and 7417 is fixed, can do this. as always, you can override this with the following prefs: "mailnews.start_page.enabled" (bool pref) and "mailnews.start_page.url"

Verified as fixed. The default goes to the default start page used by Nova 4.6 I tested it on the following builds: Linux build 1999-08-07-08-m9 Win32 build 1999-08-07-08-m9 PPC build 1999-08-07-08-m9 I verifed the following user_prefs are functional. user_pref("mailnews.start_page.enabled", false); user_pref("mailnews.start_page.url", "http://www.intel.com");
