One of my users was surprised that her RMAIL mailbox was worldwide readable. I know that this topic is somewhat touchy (esp. with respect to "open" system designs). Gnu Emacs surprises a lot of users already enough by converting their Unix mbox file into a BABYL file inadvertently, but even when the format gets changed it doesn't look nice to change the mail's privacy silently. A interactive question could do the job. If I've enough spare time (and nobody else has already cared about this), I'll dig further into this. Martin
