[I apologize if this has shown up before... I think I sent it to the
wrong address originally]

I am running Epoch 3.2 (plus the two official patches) under OpenLook
2.0 on a Sparc SLC.  Things seem to be working overall, but I am
having trouble with rmail.  Whenever I do a delete ("d") followed by a
quit ("q") or expunge ("x") I get the error:
	Wrong type argument: integer-or-marker-p, nil
and the RMAIL buffer is now longer narrowed; I see all the control
information and every message in one long file.  RMAIL has always
worked for me under Emacs.

While I'm at it, I get an error in my init file with the code:
(if (file-readable-p "/usr/spool/mail/erf")
    (progn
      (select-window (get-largest-window))
      (split-window-vertically)
      (rmail)))

which also used to work in Emacs (I'm afraid I don't know exactly
what's wrong, since I only get an "Error in init file" message).  If I
start Epoch with -q, ^X^F the .emacs file, and eval-current-buffer, it
*usually* (but not always!)  seems to work ok.  When I do get the
error in init file message, the RMAIL buffer is present but is in text
mode, not RMAIL mode.  I re-byte-compiled all my .el filess, which I
thought helped at first, but didn't seem to make a difference.

I'm stumped (but then again, I don't know a lot about Emacs/Epoch!),
and would appreciate any help that anyone might have to offer.

Thanks in advance!
