This is because the new mail is appended in Unix mail format, while the OMAIL
is in RMAIL format.

Here is a solution:

Create another mail file, say ~/MY-MAIL, and then set the inbox of MY-MAIL to
~/OMAIL using 

M-x set-rmail-inbox-list	      

Then, whenever you read MY-MAIL, it will automatically load from OMAIL.
