    Log Message:
    Fix bug reported by WitNik (John):
    The msgbase 'status' header created with smb_open_sub() had all its fields 0-filled.
    This would cause all kinds of msgbase settings (e.g. max msgs, max age, etc.) to not propagate from their SCFG settings (for mail or sub-boards)
    to the newly-created msg base(s).
    But most importantly, it would cause the mail base to be created without the "EMail" attribute flag, causing the msgbase to be treated as a sub-board (public message area) and users could not then read their received mail.

    The root-cause was that smb_open() will zero-out the current smb.status
    value before trying to read it from the msgbase header, thus losing any
    values that were populated in there before calling smb_open(). Rather than change the behavior of the ancient smb_open() function, just restore the correct default smb.status values after calling smb_open() and before
    calling smb_create().
