Wow, I almost concur with jhawk. The end must be near.
The only question I have is what can you see that is private in the nsmail
directory entry? Mine looks kind of bland.

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?
