what tool are you using that creates 1.MSG when a higher numbered MSG exists? 
the next message created should be at the end of the line, not at the 
beginning... UNLESS (read on)...

what is the content of that 1.MSG file? is it actually a message or is it the 
highwater mark instead? traditionally speaking, 1.MSG is not a message but a 
holder for the highest/last processed MSG file counter... it is known as the 
highwater mark... some software chose to use other files for this purpose to 
avoid confusion but then you run into problems similar to this...

then comes the question of are those MSG files removed after they have been 
processed or are they simply marked as having been sent? what is removing the 
1.MSG file? it should never be removed if it is the highwater mark... for one 
thing, it tells the next MSG number to be used if there are no MSGs in the 
directory...

what specific door games are these you are having problems with?
