Personally, I find RMAIL quite winning enough.  The only complaint
that I've seen that I think holds water is that if some poor sod runs
RMAIL by accident, his messages are forever inaccessible to "mail" and
the other Unix mail tools.  There should be some sort of interlock
against this, or some well-advertised way to undo the conversion of
mbox into RMAIL.  It's about the only Emacs command that you can't
"try just once".
