   I save posts in Rmail files in ~/News and got tired of having to
   invoke rmail-input by typing

       M-x  rmail-input /usr/sheffler/News/comp.sys.amiga

   or whatever.

I also got tired of having to invoke rmail when I visited files
written by gnus in rmail format, so I put the following in my .emacs.
Now every time an rmail-file is found, rmail automaticly starts up.

(setq find-file-hooks (cons 'my-rmail-find-file find-file-hooks))
(defun my-rmail-find-file ()
  (and (looking-at "BABYL OPTIONS")
       (progn
	 (if (featurep 'rmail)
	     ()
	   (message "Hmm... Looks like an rmail file. Loading rmail...")
	   (require 'rmail))
	 (rmail-mode)
	 (rmail-last-message)		; Dummy to get rmail-mode to behave
	 (message "You are in rmail-mode..."))))
