I see Conrad pointed out that if you set "sort=date+" in your .mairixc
then this resolves this issue (but I do not know if that has negative
side effects or if that interacts badly with MH-E).

This does suggest to me we should probably change the internal API
so sparse message ranges are handled better; right now all of the
programs access the folder structure members directly and assume that
there will be a msgstat structure in every location in the array.
Sigh.  One more thing to add to the list.
