[plug] Mailing list messages

[Bret Busby]

Some weird things have been happening with me getting messages from 
the mailing list.

I have messages that I have received, that were sent three hours into 
the future, and a message that I posted, three hours ago, has not been 
received.

I am wondering, whether it is possible for the mailing list to be 
programmed, so that messages received and retransmitted by the mailing 
list, have a message number allocated by the mailing list, inserted at 
the start of the subject field.

It is a bit weird, to read a message, then, a few, or, several, 
messages later, to read the message that the first message was 
responding to, when the messages are sorted in  order of the date/time 
field.

If the numbering of the messages could be done, this way, it would 
make reading the messages a bit more meaningful, as the messages could 
then be sorted in order of the subject field.

Also, once again, as has been raised by various other people over 
time, could people posting messages, pleeeeze use a spell checker? 
Surely spell (or whatever the unix utility is named) exists in Linux, 
apart from any spell-checkers that email applications use.

Thanks.
