+# setup the mail directories.  this should be done by the administrator since
+# he/she will own everything.  the following files must be altered to reflect
+# local preference.
+#
+# /mail/lib/namefiles	- remove alias files you don't use, insert ones you do.
+# /mail/lib/remotemail	- change '-g research.research.bell-labs.com' to your own mail
+#			  gateway.  if you have none, remove it.
+#			- change '-h plan9.bell-labs.com' to a name you would like
+#			  this host to be known as.  if you don't care, take it
+#			  out and it will use the name in /env/site.
+# /mail/lib/rewrite	- change the line that contains 'helix' to include names,
+#			  other than the contents of /env/site, that your system
+#			  answers to.  this is a hack and will be fixed.
