In my .emacs I have the line
(setq mail-archive-file-name "/tlsuna7/duursma/OMAIL")

This, of course, causes outgoing mail to go to the OMAIL file.
Sometimes I want to review mail I have sent, so I use "i" (rmail-input) to
read this file.  Then, when I leave this buffer around, I have trouble sending
mail; since the OMAIL buffer is write protected (the OMAIL file itself was),
gnuemacs now complains that it can't append the message to it.

Ok, I can go to the OMAIL buffer and make it writeable (C-X C-Q), but then
the mail ends up in strange places, not always at the end of the OMAIL file.

Is there another solution besides just killing the OMAIL buffer?
