Hmm, that might have been one of the mails denied for "not
authenticated" reasons. but I know that I _wrote_ the mail.

This is then closer to what I wanted in the beginning then (~5 years
ago), a open function similar to emacs' "find-file":
        - if file nonexistant -> create buffer
        - if file exists      -> open file
        - if already open      -> switch to that buffer
