How about adding a -u <user> flag to elm?  This would start up elm to
read the user's mailbox (assuming permissions to do so).

I su to root all the time to read the postmaster mail and have to do a
	elm -f /usr/spool/mail/root
all of the time.  It gets to be a lot of typing.

Also: If I want to use readmsg to read in a message, I have to remember
which mail folder I am reading:
	readmsg -f /usr/spool/mail/root
or some such.  It would be nicer if elm could remember which mail folder
you are reading (like elm already remembers which mail message you are
reading) so that a plain readmsg would get the current message from the
current folder.
