    There should be a RMAIL.mail file of 0 bytes above as promised by
the output messages.  This file is correctly created by the version of
unrmail in Emacs 22 and for non-empty folders by Emacs 23 unrmail.

And Emacs 21, which perhaps shows how important this issue is.

Anyway, I made unrmail give an explicit message (but still do nothing)
if the input file has no messages.
