1. Pine web page

We need a web page introducing users to pine.  Heather volunteered to
write it.

2. New users and the mail dialog

Incoming freshmen are already registering their accounts.  We don't
know if their first experience will be with 9.0 or 9.1, so we need a
somewhat more educated way to decide whether to present them with the
mail dialog or just run Evolution.

We will check if they have ever run xmh (look for
~/Mail/inbox/.xmhcache) and create .athena_evo_noask if they haven't.

3. Ultra 1 issue

We're not going to do anything about Jonathon's Ultra 1 issue
(release-team [3277]) because it's unsupported hardware, we aren't
hurting it particularly, and because there isn't anything trivial we
can do.

Heather expects Linux release notes early next week.
Bill will try to get the Andrew locker fixed up this week.

Greg will look into convincing Evolution not to cache people's IMAP
inboxes in their homedirs by default, since it consumes space and
doesn't improve performance.
