When I send mail from emacs, I sometimes get the minbuffer message 

	"Buffer is read-only: #<buffer outgoing.mail>

This happens when I have read "outgoing.mail" into rmail before trying
to send mail.  I have to save and delete the outgoing mail buffer
before I can send my message.  It's annoying.

On the other hand, if I type CTRL-O ("rmail-output-to-rmail-file") in
rmail to append a message to a file, then if the file is already in a
buffer, that buffer gets updated with the new message.

Shouldn't "mail-do-fcc" work more like "rmail-output-to-rmail-file"?
