In GNU Emacs 18.55.1 of Wed Apr  4 1990 on hookipa (berkeley-unix)

In RMAIL, when saving messages to other RMAIL files, the default is
to copy all the keyword attributes, such as ``answered'', ``filed'',
including the keyword ``deleted'' that marks a deleted message.

I would like to suggest that this is a bug and that emacs check for
and undelete the message in the file that it is being saved to, since
there are presumably few situations when ordinary users would want to
save a message and have it marked deleted.

(The current code just copies the buffer substring between ^_ and ^_)
