I don't think it's appropriate to make this change in the branch.
Could you describe the problem you are trying to fix, and do you have a
recipe for easily reproducing it? In Emacs 22, auto-save is also
disabled in Rmail. If I understand correctly, this behavior is
unchanged for Emacs 23---so what's the reason for changing it now?
It should be possible to get auto-save working in Rmail without
extending buffer-saved-size. For instance, we could change
rmail-swap-buffers-maybe to manage the auto-save variables
appropriately.
