   I would like to see something analogous to the ZMail "Examine"
   command, to permit reading an rmail file read-only.  The behavior I
   would like occurs when the file is not writable by me; I would like to
   be able to specify that behavior even if the file is writable.

This is something I never quite got around to doing...

   I would prefer to have each "mail" or "reply" command create a new
   *mail* buffer, even if a buffer already exists and the message has
   been sent.  It's easy enough to kill buffers and it's nice to be able
   to look at messages previously sent during the same session.  It's
   also convenient to be able to respond quickly to a message while in
   the middle of composing a longer message.  I know this is a simple
   hack; I put it in my init file.  I think it is useful enough to be the
   default.

We have a local hack to do this...

   Messages are marked "answered" as soom as the "reply" command is used.
   This is misleading if the reply is never sent.  It would be preferable
   wait until the reply is sent before marking the message as answered.
   It might be useful to have another attribute to indicate that a reply
   is being composed.

This is a problem; it's difficult to fix this for reasons I'd explain
if it were not for the fact that today's been too much of a mess...
