This bug occurs even if I disable my configuration. The variable
'mail-archive-file-name' can be set, but never re-set afterwards
(setting it to nil before providing a new value does not work, either).

I use rmail and Mailutils to check my email, and I switch back and forth
between two accounts by using the following functions:

;; My first account
(defun mail-muto ()
  (interactive)
  (setq
   rmail-primary-inbox-list
   (list (concat "imaps://shack%40muto.ca"
		 "@mail.gandi.net"))
   rmail-file-name "~/.emacs.d/mymail/muto/muto"
   rmail-default-file "~/.emacs.d/mymail/muto/muto"
   mail-archive-file-name "~/.emacs.d/mymail/muto/sent"
   user-mail-address "shack@muto.ca"
   user-full-name "Muto"
   smtpmail-default-smtp-server "mail.gandi.net"
   message-signature "Rock on! -Muto\nhttps://muto.ca")
   (message "%s"(propertize "Email account: Muto")))

;; A second account that is uses all the same variables.
(defun mail-muto2 ()
  (interactive)
  (setq
   rmail-primary-inbox-list
   (list (concat "imaps://muto2%40example.com"
		 "@mail.example.com"))
   rmail-file-name "~/.emacs.d/mymail/muto2/muto2"
   rmail-default-file "~/.emacs.d/mymail/muto2/muto2"
   mail-archive-file-name "~/.emacs.d/mymail/muto2/sent"
   user-mail-address "muto2@example.com"
   user-full-name "Muto2"
   smtpmail-default-smtp-server "mail.example.com"
   message-signature "Regards, -Muto2. ")
  (message "%s"(propertize "Email account: Muto2")))

;; End of code snippit

If I activate my first account with:
  M-x mail-muto
and start a new email with
  C-x m
The Fcc line will look correct.

But after that, if I use
  M-x mail-muto2
And start writing a new email, my signature, return address, and full
name are updated, but my Fcc still has the old value of:
  "~/.emacs.d/mymail/muto/sent"
instead of the desired value:
  "~/.emacs.d/mymail/muto2/sent"

This bug works the other way around (loading account 2 first), and it
also occurs when I use 'mail-default-headers' instead of
'mail-archive-file-name'.
