No, they don't get a default elmrc.  That file is only created when
the user does a save of the options from the options screen.

Their is no global elmrc, but the docs (especially the config doc)
talk about changing the code for changing the defaults.  A global
elmrc has been discussed, but is not on the schedule, for now its
up to the installed to change those in the code.
