How does one set what the current message is in mush upon
initialization?  In particular, I'd like to set the current message
once I get into mush to be 1 (i.e., the very first message) no matter
what sort options I specify.  I noticed that mush makes the current
message be whatever the latest message is.  (Believe it or not, that's
not what I want.)  I've tried putting into my initialization file
everything I could think of: "from 1", "header 1", and just putting "1
> /dev/null".  None of these things seems to work.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?  I'm tempted to just change
the source code.
