[net.emacs] rmail from .emacs

-------
   As part of my GNU initialization, I'm trying to bring up rmail.  I've
tried various things, most involving the line

	(rmail)

as the last line of the file.  I've tried (load)'ing it first, running
execute-command on it, and so forth.  rmail does start up, but it never
comes up in rmail-mode.  I can type "ESC-X rmail-mode" and then it
works properly, but that's no better than typing "ESC-X rmail" to get
the whole thing.  I have included the (rmail-mode) command after the
(rmail) command in the .emacs file, but it has no effect.

   Does anyone know why this doesn't work right, and how it can be fixed?
