Periodic email about security notifications

[Brian Ledbetter]

Giorgos,

That looks really awesome!  I think you may be able to accomplish this
with /usr/bin/fetch (which _is_ a part of base), though.  If you'd like,
I can send you a patch to accomplish this.  :)

I plan on putting this on all of my computers!  Excellent work, sir!

-B
