Subject: bug#11242: 24.1.50; Switching to rmai view buffer

I have found out more about the bug that switches to the
Rmail view buffer, named ` *message-viewer RMAIL*'.

It happened after I typed C-c C-c at the *mail* buffer.
It switched to ` *message-viewer RMAIL*'.spontaneously.
It has happened several times recently.

The buffers whose names start with space should never be
shown to the user unless expicitly requested.

I will continue investigating.
