Re: RMAIL, rmail-mbox-branch

[Alexander Pohoyda]

Problems I have encountered so far:

1) If RMAIL file does not exist, rmail-display-labels function fails
deep inside rmaildesc.el and I dont see a reason to display labels if
there are no messages.

Proposed solution:

         (force-mode-line-update))
 
     ;; There are messages.  Show one.


2) rmail-use-spam-filter is void variable, used in rmail-get-new-mail
   function. It is defined in rmail-spam-filter.el, but we cannot
   (require 'rmail-spam-filter) before the rmail-mode-map variable is
   defined further in rmail.el file.

   I'm not sure what is a right way to fix this.


3) Deleting the last message makes rmail-summary-goto-msg to call
   itself recursively in a dead loop.
