Look at this:

    grossjoh@linus 2> grep rmail-secondary .emacs
    (setq rmail-secondary-file-directory "~/RMail/")
    (setq rmail-secondary-file-regexp "[^~.]$")
    grossjoh@linus 3> 

Looks like it's all right, doesn't it?  Here's what I did to try it:

 - I patched rmail.el, rmailsum.el and rmailout.el
 - I byte-compiled the patched files
 - I started a fresh Emacs

In that Emacs I observed the behavior that I described to you in my
last message.

FYI, I include the output of the patch runs.  Maybe something went
wrong there, though I doubt it since patch didn't complain.

What do you think?  Maybe the `offset -6 lines' is the culprit?

Thanks for your effort!
