   About a year ago I had my dired set up so that I could do an 'R' on
   a file and it would run an RMAIL on that file.  Is this hard to do?
   Has someone done it?  Can you/they email me how?

I use exactly the same, and find it quite useful.  I would even
suggest it becomes a standard feature of dired.  Here is a way of
doing it.

(setq dired-mode-hook
      '(lambda ()
	 (define-key dired-mode-map "R" 'dired-rmail)))

(defun dired-rmail ()
  "Start the rmail reader on current dired entry."
  (interactive)
  (rmail (dired-get-filename)))
