Right.  I see that Jwma and Netscape are both respecting the relative path in 
the .mailboxlist file, and Netscape creates relative paths when one 
subscribes.  However, my experience in the past with a Java-based webmail 
application was that it wrote paths as ~username/Folder/mailbox, which is not 
respected by Netscape.  I believe that particular webmail MUA behaved that 
way because it was programmed to subscribe to folders with that path.
