I have two accounts on this machine, and when I "su" from one to the other,
to read mail with elm, elm thinks I am the user I logged in as, not the
user I su'd to.  I suspect this is because of a getlogin() somewhere.  Can
this be changed, and if not, why not?  It would be most convenient.

Thanks!
