I'm having trouble replicating it if I have found it, though. Is it possible that sendmail is just taking it's own sweet time in delivering that last message? It might not have put it in my mailbox before I grabbed the mail with RMAIL. (I *do* type pretty fast :). Problem is, the problem has decided to hide away, it seems, like the car that makes the funny noise except when the mechanic is looking. I will keep working on it, and, as you suggested, will leave the mail on the server until I'm sure I have it all.
