Yes, that's the problem, thanks. In fact of course a more efficient
way to do it is:-
mailboxes `echo /home/d/cgreen/Lists/*`
which appends a newline anyway. However adding the 'echo' to the end
of my find command worked too, just to prove that the fix was what you
suggested.

Thanks, I've kept the ~/Mail/inbox but I've put it at the front as you
suggest.
