[comp.emacs] GNU RMAIL: balk on unread mail??

swb@batcomputer.tn.cornell.edu (Scott Brim) (01/21/87)

I'd like to modify GNUemacs RMAIL so that if, in the process of reading
in the RMAIL file it discovers mail that is still unread, it will *not*
read new mail; will announce that it has discovered unread mail; and
will stay pointed to the (oldest) unread mail.  I've poked through the
sources and I have ideas about how to do it but lack confidence (it
looks complicated in there).  Has anyone done anything like this
already?
				Thanks .... Scott

What I would prefer is for it to always display the next unread
message regardless of how often you do the "g" command.  Currently I
think that it always displays the first of the newly-read messages.
