Pine periodically saves messages that I'm composing into files of the form
~/#picoNNNNN#. If my home directory is world-readable, this behavior is
kind-of unfortunate. On my own non-Athena machines, I patched pico some
time ago as shown below, which allows "setenv PICO_TMP_PREFIX .priv/" to
specify that pine should use ~/.priv/#picoNNNNN#. Probably this isn't
quite the way it should be fixed on Athena, though.
