Reading mail

Emacs stores the mail you receive while using rmail in an RMAIL file (by default this is /RMAIL). When you start rmail emacs loads in the RMAIL file and changes to a special mode for rmail. In this mode, you can move forward and backward within a mail message by using SPACE and DEL respectively. Scrolling through mail messages is effected by using p for previous message and n for next message. It is also possible to specify explicitly which message to visit; this is accomplished by typing a number representing the message number of the message you wish to visit in the RMAIL file and then typing j. Typing 1 j will move you immediately to the first message in the file; > will move you to the last message.
