The evalfile command "runs" the file email.sl, thus making the email-mode
functions available to the editor.

(BTW: I'd recommend the more highlevel functions
   require("email")  % reads now, if not already done
 or
   autoload("mail_mode", "email") % reads email.sl when mail_mode is called
)

The "Select Mode" Menu only offers a hard-coded subset of standard-modes.
User-provided extensions are not included. 

(Of course, you could change the menu definition when installing an
additional mode).

M-x mail_mode

If you are using mutt as email client, you can write in your .jedrc (or
jed.rc) file

autoload("mail_mode", "email");
define set_modes_hook(ext)
{
   variable file = path_basename(buffer_filename());
   % mutt temp files start with "mutt-"
   if (is_substr(file, "mutt-") == 1)
     {
	set_comment_info ("email"   , "> "   , ""    , 1|2|4);
	mail_mode();
	return(1);
     }
}
