The mh-rmail MH-Show buffer is RW, rather than RO.  Since
writing into an existing incoming message is something one
does rarely, and accidental writing into the MH-Show buffer
is just plain annoying, I'd really like to see mh-rmail
modified so that buffer is RO.

This probably isn't a bug in the strictest sense since
I'll bet it's defined to work this way, yet it's inconsistent
with the way pure RMAIL mode works.  I've Cc'd bugs at any
rate since this could abuse users who have been employing
one emacs mail option and have switched to the other.
