In Emacs 29.1, starting with no ~/RMAIL file and empty primary mail
spool file ('$' indicates command line terminal prompt outside Emacs):
$ mail me@foo ... # send a message to myself
emacs -Q
M-x RMAIL # retrieves/reads message
$ cat /dev/null > ~/RMAIL # clear (or otherwise modify) RMAIL file
$ mail me@foo ... # send another message to myself
M-x RMAIL
"File RMAIL changed on disk. Reread from disk? (yes or no) " yes
"rmail-error-bad-format: Message is not a valid RFC 822 (or later)
message" and:
mode changes from RMAIL to fundamental
~/RMAIL file on disk looks good (proper RFC 822 file)
~/RMAIL file as visited in buffer looks bad, can be seen (e.g.,
upon immediate save) to be missing top "From " and other header
lines ("Return-Path:", "Received:", etc.)
