Yet more 1.2 -> 2.2 conversion fun

Oh well, recovering from the big conversion effort and
trying to tye up the myriad loose ends...
1) The auto-logout timeout feature in /usr/new/csh has suddenly started
working. I had a very irate user today who wanted to know why the
system blew them off when they had left their terminal while typing
in a long mail message.
This seems to happen with either the 1.2 or 2.2 new/csh execuatbles,
so it's a bit of a mystery. The solution is to have all new/csh
users edit their .login files to add "unset autologout".
2) I missed the /usr/lib/Mail.rc file when I was bringing over the key
files from 1.2. I'm not going to reload the 1.2 distribution to
verify this, but I think the 2.2 version has a bunch of non-default
options specified that differ from the 1.2 file. This changes the
default behaviour of mail enough to cause user distress...
