In GNU Emacs 19.27.1 (mips-sgi-irix5.2, X toolkit) of Thu Sep 15 1994 on liasg5

A user of Emacs 19.27 has complained about a `bug' when sending mail
from within RMAIL (using rmail-mail (m) or rmail-reply (r)).  The user
normally uses one large window showing the RMAIL buffer, and consults
the RMAIL summary only occasionally.

Now the new version of Emacs implements the following feature: after
sending the mail using C-c C-c he is left in the RMAIL summary buffer
(if it happens to exist) in a second window.  The user would prefer
getting back to the old window configuration (just one window showing
the RMAIL buffer).

I propose to add a user variable to disable the new(?) behavior of
mail-bury.  The following patch does this.  To get the old behavior,
simply set `mail-bury-selects-summary' to nil in your .emacs file.
