One method I have seen (though it seems crude...) is to 

(setq rmail-mode-hook (function
			(lambda ()
			  (setq unread-command-char ?h))))

This will have the effect of sending an h as the next command
executed; assuming normal bindings, this will get a summary buffer. 

This is probably appropriate in that the hooks are usually run before
the buffer is set up, while the next command is executed after
everything is done; maybe we need before hooks and after hooks...

Or maybe this is grotesque enough that someone will be forced to post
the right solution out of sheer revulsion. :-)
