We're installing ELM on our system and would like to change the
system-wide default values for things like the mail folder
and received file.  This way the novice e-mail user can readily
switch beteen e-mail programs, e.g. mail, Mail, Columbia MM, and Elm
without having to worry about their mail ending up in different files.

maildir = ~/user-name
mailbox = ~/user-name/mbox
etc

as the defaults for all users?


	Thanks,
