My mail and bookmark files were originally created in Netscape. I have
never had more than one set of mail files and one bookmark file for all
versions of NS, Moz, SM and TB, and one bookmark file for all NS, Moz
and FF, except for testing purposes. And to combine two mail trees,
just change the names of the files you are bringing in and copy them to
the other tree; ignore the index files.

And there have been times when I was searching for the point at which a
bug was introduced that I had maybe twenty Mozilla family products on
the HDD, could run any one of them, and they all used the same data files.

And I also use the same data files under Win. OS/2 and Win even share
the same profile directories.

I seem to have had great difficulty in presenting the concept of
inter-family and cross platform compatibility of Mozilla. IT WORKS.
