In GNU Emacs 19.26.1 (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3C, X toolkit) of Fri Sep  9 1994 on penelope

A nasty bug that currupts the first character of the mail message (header)
when you have a summary buffer and read in new mail.

Do the following:

% mv ~/RMAIL ~/RMAIL-safe
% yow | mail me
% emacs -q

Then M-x rmail to read the email.  Type `h' to get RMAIL-summary.  Type
C-x o to go back to the RMAIL buffer.  In the shell:

% yow | mail me

Go back to your emacs and type `g'.  The mail is read into the RMAIL
buffer and the RMAIL-summary buffer shows the new message.  Now type `d'
to delete the message.  The result:

1.  RMAIL-summary buffer does not show the new message as deleted (because)
2.  The first character of the RMAIL buffer changes to the letter `D'

Si.
