Running this under emacs20, either the emacs20 in the emacs locker, or
the native emacs in 8.13, generates an (args-out-of-range 3 5)
error. Running it beyond the first time does the right thing (brings
up a *mail* buffer). This works okay under emacs19.
I reached the limit of my elisp competence getting the bug down to the
minimal code above; the mail function like that is used in various OLC
discuss/qa/accounts elisp, so if it's a problem with new syntax, the
code could probably be fixed, but I don't understand why it's
breaking.
