    Another fix might be for C-x k to use confirm-nonexistent-file-or-buffer
    so that after you type TAB, Emacs prompts with [Confirm] when you try to
    exit the minibuffer immediately.

How would that change it?  The buffer ` *message-viewer RMAIL*' did
exist.

Anyway, these buffers are supposed to be semi-hidden.
It isn't right for them to pop up due a completion
the user would not have expected.
