mail-send-and-exit fails if you happen to be concurrently reading your
mail-archive-file-name using rmail.  Since rmail sets the buffer to
read-only, mail-send-and-exit fails when it tries to append the
message text to the end of the buffer.  Rich@rice.edu

repeat by:
(setq mail-archive-file-name "foo")
(rmail "foo")
(mail)
(mail-send-and-exit)
