Did you check the file attributes to make sure the file isn't 
set to read only?  If you copied the files to a CD, this is very 
likely the problem.  Make sure that Windows is set to show you 
the COMPLETE file name - it's default setting will not show the 
extensions.

And are you sure you're copying it to the right place?
In 6.2[Win98], profiles are located in: 
/windows/application data/mozilla/profiles/

Make sure you copy the old mail folder contents into:
/windows/application data/mozilla/profiles/<userID>/*.slt/Mail


Also, change your news client to post plain text ONLY.
