What happens is you just re-link rmail to be smail?  I just tried it and it
seems to be working.  I'm not sure though.  I may find out that it won't work
later on.

I would appreciate that summary, but if someone has written code to do this
already, please post it!!  It doesn't seem like it'd be that hard of code to
write.  Does rmail get called differently by the Voice Power electronic mail
system?  If so then this is easy.  If not how does the VP rmail determine that
it's being called for rmail purposes?
