I don't think that's user-settable, as I'm afraid the whole concept of
"whines" is that users can't turn them off. Which is stupid, of course,
as we all know how to set up incoming mail filters.

At any rate, there shouldn't be any future automated whines. If anyone
receives one after today, just let me know and I'll make sure it's off
for good, even if I have to remove the cronjob.
