I note that we're de-supporting the Console, however the standard
dotfiles send the output of "from -t -n" to the Console, and people
will likely notice this is missing. (Plenty of people also send the
output of "znol -l" there, but I'm less concerned about that)
Is there a good way to inform users of new messages upon login? Some
version of xbiff that knows how to deal with things other than local
mail spools, perhaps?
