The recently posted context.el seems to trash the RMAIL file.  This makes
perfect sense, since context-flag is set to t when RMAIL is read in.  It
would seem that the answer is to set context-flag to nil before running
rmail; is there such a thing as "rmail-mode-hook"?  I've tried
mail-mode-hook, but that only applies when sending mail.  I've tried
rmail-edit-mode-hook, but that only applies when you use the "w" command
from within rmail.  There is no such thing as rmail-mode-hook documented,
but maybe it exists anyway?  Perhaps I'll try it....

Other than that, context.el is pretty nice, although I've been using it for
only a couple of days.

BTW, my emacs is 18.35.
