Right.

An overriding action?  That's much too severe.

Rmail is free to do what it wants in this regard.  But

(".*" . (display-buffer-same-window))

is a much too strong customization IMO.  It conflates 'pop-to-buffer'
with its standard "pop to a window other than the selected one even if
the buffer is already displayed in the selected window" behavior with
'switch-to-buffer'.  Don't do that - it may miss too many cases.
