[imp] Re: Bug#116164: imp: clears mail form during "back"

[Chuck Hagenbuch]

A note on all of the 2.2.6 reports: we are not planning on any more 2.2
releases. I haven't looked in detail through all of them yet, but a lot may be
nits which are fixed in 2.3 but never were fixed in 2.0.

In this case, 2.2 probably has some cases where this happens; it's a caching
issue, and may be specific to Netscape, but 2.3 should always preserve the form.
