What about assuming that rmail files always start witj "RMAIL" or
"XMAIL" (and ignore case-sensitivity)? Then RMAIL.foo would be a RMAIL
file, and xmail.123 would also be a rmail file.
I normally use *.xmail for these files.
I think others use *.mbox.
But the general idea would work.
-------------------
If the intent is to work with other mail readers, assuming any such extension
will be difficult. As long as the files are used from within rmail, no such
convention is needed, as rmail can expect them to be formatted as expected.
Personally I am against C-x C-f trying to interpret these files as rmail files
automatically, but it may still be useful to specify binary coding for these
files when editing these files. The users, of course, have the option of
setting auto-mode-alist and auto-coding-alist as they like.
