I added a few extra functions to "rmail" and "dired" to handle multiple
RMAIL files. Pressing "N" from within rmail gives me a display of all
my mailboxes under the Emacs-mail directory.

Pressing "N" again on any RMAIL file will read the corresponding inbox and
fire up rmail on the file. Pressing "q" will save the changes and bring me
back to the dired display.
The corresponding inboxes are under News-local. I can flip back and forth
between the two directories by pressing a comma, to see where I have new
mail waiting.
