  Thanks.  It works nicely.

  Another question!

  If I say:  'msh OLD' to look at a file of old messages, everthing goes
about as I would expect.  But if I say:  'msh OLD.1' to look at a really
really old file, I get:

msh: Mail/.OLD.map: pointer mismatch or incomplete index (319693!=558608), continuing...

 Is there something peculiar about a file name ending in '.digit'?
