Subject: bug#13499: 24.3.50; Rmail fails converting Babyl files

From: Richard Stallman <[email-masked]>
Date: Sat, 19 Jan 2013 12:36:59 -0500

Visiting this file does not get it properly into Rmail.
Rmail does not set up the current message number.  As a result,
it is impossible to do any operations on messages.
