Ah. Looking more closely, I see that the default (i.e. "unset") value
for the C attribute is zero.

When Exim sees that line, it ends up with 0 for the C attribute, and
that agrees with the appendfile configuration, so it doesn't recreate
the file.

If you had set quota_filecount to something other than 0, it would have
rewritten the file. Is the current behaviour causing a problem, or were
you just trying to figure out what was happening?
