In GNU Emacs 18.57.7 of Sun Feb 17 1991 on pit-manager (berkeley-unix) When "movemail" gets new mail for a user, it marks each message with an "unseen" label. When emacs rmail mode displays a message that has an "unseen" label, it automatically removes the label. The "obvious" conclusion, therefore, is that if you run rmail, then exit without viewing all of the messages, when you start up rmail again, it should be smart enough to automatically move you to the first unread message in the file (i.e. the first message with an "unseen" label). But it doesn't. To try this, run rmail, hit 'q' without viewing all of the new mail (make sure there are at least two messages you haven't viewed), kill the RMAIL buffer, then run rmail again. You will be placed on the last message in the file, not on the first inseen message.
