Never mind, I've just tested it myself and it works as expected.

So I guess my remaining task is to write up some documentation.  Do you
make it would make sense to have a new Bug Reference node below
"Advanced Features"?  Or maybe better below "Maintaining Large
Programs"?

If that was in place, I'd add a short paragraph about the Rmail setup in
its own info manual and link the main Bug Reference node from there.
Makes sense?
