If I have to, I will.  I always prefer not to change the default behavior
of other programs when at all possible, though, since it reduces my
maintenance headaches later, and leaves more options open if I ever
decide to switch MDAs again.  I'm just wondering what WU-IMAPd doesn't
like about my symlink :-(

Thanks for the suggestion, anyway,
