In mail-mode, C-c C-c deletes the window and returns to the Rmail buffer
because of this specialized code in mail-bury:

        (with-current-buffer
            (window-buffer (next-window (selected-window) 'not))
          (setq rmail-flag (eq major-mode 'rmail-mode))
          ...)
   (if rmail-flag
       ;; If the Rmail buffer has a summary, show that.
       (if summary-buffer (switch-to-buffer summary-buffer)
         (delete-window))
     (switch-to-buffer newbuf))))))

So, one solution is to add this to message-bury, or make message-bury an
alias for mail-bury.  But this code doesn't seem terribly clean.

A better alternative may be to specify a `mail-bury-function' variable,
let Rmail set that variable, and change both mail-mode and message-mode
to respect `mail-bury-function'.  Anyone have any better ideas?
