And what would we do for other mail files? Perhaps I'm missing something, because I don't see a problem. When the user visits an Rmail file FOO, we could _always_ hold the current message from that file in the buffer named FOO and arrange for its visited file name to be FOO. The actual contents of FOO the file would be in another buffer. We could arrange for save-file and other similar commands to save FOO's contents from the buffer where we keep its actual contents, instead of saving the buffer FOO. Do you see any problem with this approach?
