Cool! /me copies this mail into "dont del" mailbox.

Maybe you know yet another trick - is in possible to arrange
so that when someone connects to \\box\share, samba ignores
login username and validates user with:

login=share
password=<user-supplied password> ?

This will allow poor souls from Win9x boxes (which as you know
are unable to supply usernames, only passwords) to supply username
as a share name. Whatever I try with [default] and/or [homes] section,
I can't achieve this...
