Here's a relative-beginner-in-Elisp question. (I know Emacs
itself pretty well.):

I have bound many keys to functions, but at the moment they are
all bound globally using define-key global-map, e.g.:

(define-key global-map "\^c\^a" 'abort-recursive-edit)  ;C-c C-a

I'm running out of keys, it's time for me to learn the right way
to bind keys to local modes, and reorganize a bit. I've tried
figuring out hooks et al, but I don't have enough background yet,
and I need a solution.

Let's say, for example, I have a named macro called do-whatever,
and I would like to bind it only in rmail mode.  If someone could
kindly send me a simple model it would be much appreciated, and I
think I can take it from there.
