[webmin-devel] feature of "read user mail" is gone!

I had a server for our office which was running an older version
of just about everything (set up about 5-6 years ago), and has
recently been upgrading with new versions of all the web-based
daemons and such we use.  I have been using webmin since then
and have enjoyed it immensely.

However, in the transition from the old version to this new
version, a feature of the "read user mail" (that I used ALL the
time) is gone.

I use procmail to help manage incoming mail, and I use it to
separate out mail based on various tests and the like.  It would
write them out to files in the mail spool directory such as
"probably-spam" and "needs-spam-scan" and things like that.

Using the "read user mail" interface, I use to see these files
in the list and parse through them doing whatever needed to be
done on the contents.

They are no longer listed!!!   In fact, it appears that ONLY
actual users of the system are listed here now..  wtf?   This is
really irritating.  Now if I want to open these files, I either
have to add a user to the system of that file name (which is
retarded, because these things can and do change as needs arise),
use the 'browse' feature and manually click through the directory
tree to the mail spool directory and select the file, or manually
type it in.

I check these files 4-5 times a day and it is really getting on
my nerves!!

Why isn't there a config option to disable this annoyance?

As an added slap to the face, if I have one of these files open,
click on a message to view its headers, and then decided to delete
it, I get the "this user does not exist" error.

Please please please fix this!!!!!
