Thijs Kinkhorst 0691f49ebe Add a first rough version of an about box to SquirrelMail.
This is linked if $provider_url is set to empty (the new default).
It's also linked from the help file. Furthermore by default no
version numbers are on the loginpage.

If you just have a quick question, you might want to look at the FAQ.
</p>
<p>
SquirrelMail is laid out in two main sections called frames. The
left frame lists the currently subscribed folders. More information
about the left frame may be found under the "Folders" section of this
help documentation.
</p>
<p>
On the right is where most of the action will take place. At the
top of the page is a menu bar. Sign out will safely log you out of
the program when you are finished. The Current Folder displays which
of the folders listed in the left frame you are currently in.
Right after you log in, by default your INBOX will be shown.
</p>
<p>
Under the top bar is a row of menu choices:
<ul>
<li><b>Compose</b> - Make and send an email which may include attachments.
<li><b>Addresses</b> - Holds a list of addresses that are contained in your personal address book.
<li><b>Folders</b> - All folder manipulation takes place under this. You can delete, create, rename, subscribe, and unsubscribe folders.
<li><b>Options</b> - Change settings of how SquirrelMail responds and looks.
<li><b>Search</b> - With this tool, you can search through a mailbox for given criteria.
<li><b>Help</b> - You are already here!
</ul>
