The mail is moved into the crash box before it is visited by
VM/Emacs.  VM visits the crash box, appends its contents to the
inbox buffer and the on-disk version of the inbox, removes the
crash box and kills the crash box buffer.  None of these actions
should cause the buffer modification flag to be set in the crash
box buffer.
