Following the usual conventions of Emacs, changes in an Rmail file
become permanent only when the file is saved. You can save it with
-@kbd{s} (@code{rmail-save}), which also expunges deleted messages from
-the file first (@pxref{Rmail Deletion}). To save the file without
-expunging, use @kbd{C-x C-s}. Rmail also saves the Rmail file after

@dfn{Resending} is an alternative similar to forwarding; the
difference is that resending sends a message that is ``from'' the
original sender, just as it reached you---with a few added header fields

if you provide a numeric argument.)
If you set the variable @code{rmail-mail-new-frame} to a
non-@code{nil} value, then all the Rmail commands to start sending a

you an overview of the mail in an Rmail file. Each line shows the

characters, just as it does with files you visit and with and
subprocess output. Rmail uses the standard
