I don't really think this is a bug -- but it is a suggestion that the 
release team and cwis dev may want to consider.  One hesitation from my side 
is that I thought I had heard that nsmail is not really a supported way of 
doing things, and in fact has some problems?

Perhaps an alternative to making all new accounts have an nsmail directory 
would be a "setup-nsmail" script in a well-publicized place?
