Hmm, that could be an option.

When rmail fetches new email, it also automatically opens unread email.
Once an email has been read, as I understand it, the unseen label gets
removed.

So if I use that hook, I worry the following sequence will happen:

1. I run rmail
2. rmail fetches new email, and opens the latest unseen message.
3. The unseen label gets removed from that message.
4. rmail-mode-hook runs, and my function proceeds to summarizes by
unseen messages. The latest message is never shown to me, as the unseen
label got removed before the hook run.

This would result in me actually not seeing all the unseen messages, but
I am not sure what the sequence is. C-h v rmail-mode-hook only tells me
it is invoked when Rmail is invoked.
