Re: [mlmmj] Exposing the message IDX number better & large archives

Yeah. I've had difficulty finding the index in the past, too, e.g. to retrieve 
old/missed messages. A substitution seems the perfect way to deal with this, and 
the list admin can put it in a header if they want (and eventually we'll probably 
get around to shipping it in the best practice headers).

Could you put it on the bug tracker for me? It shouldn't be too much work, but it 
will be forgotten for sure if it's not somewhere organised.

Smiles,
