RFE: option to download in reverse order, like it used to be

[ugcheleuce]

An older script version, of a week or two ago, downloaded mails in reverse chronological order (i.e. starting from the most recent one), which I thought made a lot of sense, since the most recent messages are usually the ones that are more useful (compared to messages from 20 years ago).

Would it be possible to add a switch that performs that original kind of a download again? One should still be able to specify a start and/or stop message, e.g. start at message 1000, so then it downloads 1000, 999, 998, etc.
