I tried this with three independent Rmail files: does anybody know > why C-u j in Rmail, shows message number 4?! Because C-u is the "universal argument" -- a way of providing args to commands. All by itself it just means 4 (yes, hear me out :) Each additional C-u multiplies that by 4, so twice C-u means 16. But you can enter digits after C-u (and before the command taking the argument) to control your argument's value. So C-u 4 2 j would jump to message 42. This also works for moving around in a text buffer (where the exponential behaviour of "naked" C-u does make more sense).
