That's it. All feature/bug fixes related to software itself should be
sent to software authors.

I think you can achieve this functionality by creating /etc/c-client.cf
file within following contents:

	I accept the risk
	set mail-subdirectory mail

This means all mailfolders for users will be stored in their $HOME/mail
directory. For example, my own practice is use .IMAP subdirectory. Please
take a look to ${PKG_PREFIX}/share/doc/imap-uw/imaprc.txt file and its
companions.

But another question which I have for a long time is why c-client.cf file
stored in the /etc directory, instead of ${PKG_PREFIX}/etc one? I haven't
look to all c-client software, but seems this file used by libc-lient.*
libraries only, and no clients' references are needed, isn't it?

Thus, maybe we can move it to /usr/pkg/etc instead?
