Answering "no" should beep an error, say "Cannot get new mail" and then
stop.  Hm...  but I see that the caller (in `nnmail-get-new-mail-1' just
ignores that, and carries on as if nothing happened), so it doesn't
matter whatever you respond.

Hm...  I'm not sure how to fix this, or what the right fix would be
here.  Anybody got an opinion?
