In any case, surely this check would be optional. I hope not, then it makes rmail not usable for most users. What is wrong with using real local variables? Either by adding it to the first message, or always adding "-*- rmail -*-" to X-RMAIL-...? That way a user could disable rmail explictly for a file, or enable it by adding -*- rmail -*- to it. This would then work exactly as it did for RMAIL/BABYL. Without adding specifc rmail hacks to other parts of emacs. I like this approach.
