This code is wrong; the NEWBUF should not be passed to
rmail-mail-return, it should be the BUFFER variable in the loop.  I've
committed a fix.


BTW, having code in mail-bury to specially handle Rmail buffers is kinda
ugly.  This probably needs to be folded into the quit-window mechanism,
somehow.  In the first place, I'm not even sure it's appropriate to
redirect the user to an Rmail buffer if the mail command was not started
from Rmail.
