While we're discussing the login screen, I'd like to suggest the login code 
submit to remote_login.php, instead of mailbox.php.   This solves the 
problem where after logging in, clicking on a message and clicking back, 
that one gets a "page expired error".

(If the browser doesn't think mailbox.php is created from a post, which we 
avoid by posting to remote_login.php and letting it establish the session 
and redirect, then things work much nicer.)

SquirrelMail added a redirect.php to solve the similar problem with their 
project; I just clued in that our remote_login code was the same animal.  :)
