FieldOrder *does* control the order, but the damned Comments field is
*still* in there.  It's like Comments, In-Reply-To, and References get a
free ride, slipping past the implicit exclusion of FieldOrder and the
explicit exclusion of EXCS.  Does this sound familiar to anyone?  It should
be simple enough:

<FIELDORDER>
from
to
subject
date
</FIELDORDER>

but my messages (like the one at
http://www.pennmush.org/~server/crossword/msg02276.html) say things like:

Maybe FIELDORDER actually needs an override flag?
