Yes, as whatever I do, users such as staff members will do too. That
is minor problem. I = user and user = others;

Basically, I would like to recognize that bufer where I am invoking
recursive-edit is at some moment not visible any more, and I would
like programmatically to find out WHICH buffer is it.

Now I have no idea which buffer is it, and multiple recursive-edits
stay active, even though there is no buffer with recursive-edit.

That is some mystery. Those recursive-edit buffers show as

[[[[[(Mail WK Fill)]]]]]

but I cannot know in the list of buffer and CANNOT SEE to what buffers
those [[[[]]]] belogns.

And if I inspect buffers, they are not in recursive-edit

It means that [[[[[[[[[[[]]]]]]]]]]] recursive edit buffers disappear
from buffer list.
