   If you read your mail with rmail (M-x rmail or by using the "g"
   command), it should signal display-time that you no longer have
   pending mail.  This isn't totally reliable (you could read your
   mail some other way), and it's not terribly important, but it would
   be a nice improvement if someone were energetic enough to make it.

I think this simple patch would do the job without any side-effects.
Anyway, I am not very familiar with processes under emacs, so some
guru should verify it makes no harm.

I had started by calling the display-time-filter only if there were
new messages, but it caused an anoying blinking on the screen.  That
was, I guess, because the filter caused a redisplay before the call to
rmail-show-messages.  This way the redisplay is done after
rmail-show-message, with a resulting waste in cpu power, but no
visible effect.
