Yes, I see you are right. I opened EMACS' purified TECO file and indeed
there are references to Rmail: "Temporarily loads up :EJ version of
Rmail and runs in own environment."
Curiosly, there is no M-X extended commands facility in this early
EMACS. You have to type <ALTMODE> (to get a TECO minibuffer) and then
MM Rmail<ALTMODE><ALTMODE>. Unfortunately, I don't have the RMAIL file,
so I get ".TECO.;DSK:[RMAX] > FILE NOT FOUND?"
By the way, if anyone wants to try this, let me know in private email.
Be prepared to compile a SUPDUP client.
