Forwarding mail does not work

[jpff]

I create a simple RMAIL file (uuencoded below) and then use h to get a
list of headers.

The f for forward and it says 
call-interactively: Buffer is read-only: #<buffer TEST_RMAIL>
The problem is that the created *mail* buffer is not displayed.  It is
there, but not selected.  The forward than attempts top copy the message
into the RMAIL buffer which is read-only.
