Sigh... I guess I asked for that.

I also guess I'd not be surprised to find that the least robust piece of
AMS, as far as the posibility of losing mail goes, is the piece that
takes things out of /usr/spool/mail and puts it into the Mailbox
directory, since that part isn't used at CMU and was only added for the
non-CMU release.

It's too bad you didn't report the problem when it happened; we might
have stood a better chance of tracking it down when the trail was warm. 
Nonetheless I'm going to go take a peek at that code and see if there's
anything that might be a bug of this sort, lingering since version
6.xx...
