Excerpt from my rmail file:

; Fri Feb  3 00:43:21 1984  *  Koomen@Rochester  *  multi-mailbox upgrade
; To make mail filing easier I gave rmail a multi-mailbox capability. 
; Messages can be moved from the standard inbox to dedicated message files 
; but not by appending as was the case but intact. Each message file is
; implemented as a Unix subdirectory of $user/Messages containing its own
; Directory file. When moving a message rmail asks for a message file
; (defaulting to the one last used), creates a link of the current message
; in the indicated directory, updates the appropriate Directory file, and
; marks the current message for deletion in the current Directory. One can
; move from message file to message file to inspect filed messages.
; The following commands interface with this new capability
;  m    move message to different message file
;  ^Xr  read different message file
;  ^Xm  mail new message (used to be 'm')
; Fri Feb  3 00:56:44 1984  *  Koomen@Rochester  *  additional upgrades
; More message header stripping. Only displays To, From, Subject, Date and 
; possibly Reply-To and In-Reply-To lines. Header info is kept, and can be 
; examined by
;  h	restore full message header
;  H	strip message header
; As a bonus I've thrown in display of the current message number on the
; Directory buffer line (useful in combination with the rmail-goto-message
; command 'g').
; I also got rmail to display the directory window at half the size of the
; current message window.

If anyone is interested, let me know. If the number of requests warrant
it, I'll post to the net.
