Thanks Eli. Soon after loading, last email is open in the whole buffer - status
bar is saying (RMAIL 255/255). The buffer is named same as the mbox file name
that I opened.
In a separate "Messages" buffer, there is a question of the file being large
(594MB), really open y/n ? To which I had answered y. And another statement
"Counting messages...done". Nothing else.
In "Summary" menu, I can click on "All" - key for this is "h", a summary of
only 255 messages in a top half-window, numbered 1-255. Clicking on any of
these message headers opens corresponding mail in bottom half-window. I tried
searching (Summary -> By Regexp) , it searches only within those 255 messages,
but I know lots of other thousands of messages match my search. From my
educated guess, these are 255 latest messages in the MBOX file. 255 being a
nice round number, I suspect this is deliberate.
In this top-panel summary, I do C-u 1000 j. It comes to 255th message and
status bar shows "No following message". Seems like it tried to go to 1000th
message but found no message after 255th.
I am using emacs 24.4.1, x86_64, downloaded prebuilt for windows from somewhere.
