Hm... Sort them before they get numbers?

I'm still missing the good old OS/2 tool pktsort/2 of 1993.

It was not a 100% solution because of some people used Crosspoints annonymous time mode that set 00:00 daytime stamps and it failed with long transit time. But at least it was the most universal tool because it was not restriced to a specific msgbase format and was still very useful for daily usage to get the 400 new mails per echo in sequence.

Shivering... It's 30 years since...
