Section 4.1.4 states, "MAIL ... MUST not be sent if a mail transaction is
already open" which I agree with.  However, the wording in 3.3 and 4.1.12
do not make this restriction and actually read as if:

C: MAIL From:<gshapiro@gshapiro.net>
S: 250 Ok
C: MAIL From:<gshapiro@sendmail.org>
S: 250 Ok

should be allowed an implicit RSET would be done after receiving the second
MAIL command.

Hoping that 4.1.4 is correct, this restriction should be mentioned in
sections 3.3 and 4.1.12.
