[comp.sys.ibm.pc.rt] Sendmail mbox-es save things backwards

Hi.

I've got an RT running AIX 2.2.1 and Sendmail.  If you're reading mail
and you quit with q command, read messages get appended to the *beginning*
of your mbox folder, rather than at the end.  I have users complaining
about this, but I'm not sure how to fix it.  Has anyone else experienced/
fixed this?

If you put the command "set append" in your .mailrc file, new mail will
be added to the end of the mailbox (I prefer it that way too).
