? In 18.54, rmail-input on a file already being visited by the current

? (find-file "foo")
? (rmail-input "foo")

I just did a bizarre thing with rmail. I had an already large rmail
file with three times as much mail in its inbox. So I just found
the file, load-library'ed rmail, and said rmail-mode. Seems I couldn't
invoke the `o' command, rmail-output-to-rmail-file because
rmail-last-rmail-file was nil. Perhaps rmail needs a complete rewrite.

Hey Roland, do you know who's in charge of GNU diff?
