It's a bad idea having a command default one way (and the manpage documenting 
that default), and then silently installing a hidden configuration override 
that changes the behaviour.

sortm(1) states the default for 'msgs' is 'all'.  Failure to read the 
documentation is not a bug in the command.  There's nothing wrong with sortm's 
current default message list -- leave it alone.  If you don't like the default 
behaviour, write your own wrapper script.  That's the whole point of using MH 
in the first place.
